To facilitate the flushing and cleansing of sewers, manholes
and flushing chambers have been constructed in:—
Buckingham-cottages Ship-court
Dean's-place Trinity-mews
Park-place Vandon-streot
Regent-gardens
Repeated complaints arising in consequence of the defective
ventilation of the sewer in Dacre street, arrangements were made
with the owners of Victoria-mansions to fix an upcast shaft to
their premises. The old surface ventilations have been closed,
and an iron pipe fixed to the building and carried above the roof
at a cost of £17.
In consequence of the difficulty of obtaining access to the sewer
in Grey Coat-place a side entrance was constructed, and at the
same time the ventilation of the sewer was improved at a cost of
£80.
There being indications that that portion of Tufton-street
between Wood street and College-street would undergo a great
change through building operations, and as a sewer did not exist
under the whole of that part of the street and the old sewer being
very defective, a sewer about 320 feet in length was constructed
with invert blocks at a cost of £445.
Portions of the sewer inverts were re-constructed in Cobourgrow
at a cost of £97, and in Old Pye-street at a cost of £75.
About 220 feet of invert blocks were laid in the Dacre-street
sewer at a cost of £157.
whitehall convenience.
This convenience continues to be used very much by the public
and I am confident that the Vestry would, by constructing conveniences
in suitable situations, be conferring a great boon,
especially to the female portion of the public.
To prevent the flooding of this convenience in times of high
tide and storms a special valve and syphon has been fixed at a
cost of £11 and is working very satisfactorily.
urinals.
The whole of the urinals have received daily attention and the
automatic flushing tanks which have been fixed are working well
and effect a great saving of the expenditure upon water.
