The north-western boundary is the River Brent
and Twyford parish, a linear distance of about 3½
miles.
The north-eastern boundary is the main road
from London to Edgware from a point nearly 300
yds. below the London and North-Western Railway,
known as Kilburn Gate, to the Welsh Harp Reservoir
at Hendon, a distance of over 3 miles.
SEWERAGE.
The drainage of the southern part of the District
which passes into the Metropolitan system has not
undergone any change. The works connected with
the Brent area on the northern side of the ridge
dividing the two areas have been completed. The
works consist of 121 acres, and are now under the
inspection of the County Council as well as the
Thames Conservancy. All analyses of the effluents
have been satisfactory. The treatment is triple
throughout. Chemical before passing into the depositing
tanks; artificial filtration through beds of
Polarite; intermittent downward filtration and irrigation.
The bed of the river Brent is being levelled,
which will be of great advantage.
WATER SUPPLY.
In my report of previous years, I have called
attention to the inadequate supply of water in South
Kilburn, which chiefly consists of houses let in
tenements.
