Flushing Tanks and Iron Pipes.—An old tank, known as Cowper's Tank and utilized in past years for water works purposes, at the junction of Centre Street with Bonham Road, has been adapted for use as a large flushing tank for the low-level sewerage system. It has a capacity of 6,700 gallons and the water for filling it is obtained from the nullah at the north-west corner of West End Park. The tank was in working order by the end of November and, with the exception of a small sum for road repairs, all liabilities had been discharged. The cost of it was $1,125.79, a contribution of $350 towards this amount being received from the lessee of Inland Lots 690 and 691 under an arrangement whereby the boundaries of these lots were re-adjusted.
A small tank, (capacity 150 gallons), arranged to discharge automatically, has been constructed in Pound Lane, the waste hot and soapy water from the Pound Lane Bath House being thus utilized for flushing purposes. The cost of it was $135.75.
As a useful spring of water was found in the course of filling in an old, disused storm-water drain in Duddell Street, it was decided to utilize it for flushing purposes by converting a portion of the old drain into a flushing tank, with a capacity of 1,500 gallons.
The work was completed by the end of the year at a cost of $168.00, all liabilities being discharged with the exception of a small sum due for road repairs.
