Seaton Sea Outfall. The heavy winter seas moved a considerable quantity of sewer coverage and the concrete haunching was exposed in places. An inspection made, showed that there was no damage to the sewer, which continued to function satisfactorily throughout the year. St. Cleer. Treatment Works. The decanting of sludge from the Dortmund Tank was carried out twice weekly and six lagoons were in regular and constant use. In spite of a very wet summer, the sludge was dried without any difficulty, and sold for agricultural and horticultural use. Additional premises were provided with bathrooms, water closets, wash-hand basins, sinks, etc., and the works dealt with the increased drainage without difficulty. The quality of the effluent discharging into a nearby stream was very good. Polruan Sea Outfall. No special attention was required. Pelynt. Treatment Works. This works, although not so modern as those at St. Cleer, continued to deal with the increased drainage from the village without any problem. Bodinnick. These sewers were quite able to carry the increased volume of house drainage from this village. Dob walls. In July 1958. the Council accepted the tender of £20,863, from Messrs.

Pumping station No. 2 had been commenced, and excavations at the site of the treatment were in hand.
