Before this work was carried out, this portion of the
district was quite undrained, and about 20 houses, which at
present drain into cesspools, are to be connected up.
The Water Company's mains have also been extended
in this district, as the artesian wells have failed.
Among the works carried out that affect the sanitary
condition of the district, the following may be mentioned:—
A portion of the high-level sewer between Somerset
Road and New Park Road, having a length of about half a
mile, was reported by the Surveyor as defective, and has
been relaid at a cost of about £600.
Considerable progress has been made with the construction
of an additional acre of cultivation filter for the treatment
of tank effluent at the Sewage Farm.
House The drains of 160 houses and promises have been entirely
Drainage reconstructed, and laid to stand the water test, with manholes
for inspection purposes, and all up-to-date improvements.
The following blocks of houses have been redrained;
the main drains were put in, in most cases, by the District
Council, at their own cost: —
