Drainage
Since the date of my appointment the drainage of 70
houses have been entirely re-constructed. In carrying out
this work I have endeavoured as far as practicable, to
secure the following provisions, as the circumstances of
each case require :—
(aj That a separate drain be provided for each house.
(bj A manhole with air tight cover, intercepting trap,
and fresh air inlet fixed as near the boundary of the
premises as practicable.
(cj A ventilating pipe of sufficient diameter and proper
materials terminating in a suitable position in
relation to the windows and chimneys of the house.
