    The scheme envisages the complete sewering of the village of Kingsley and of that part of Kingsley Holt not already sewered. It is proposed that two sewage disposal works shall be constructed, one to serve each area. The Kingsley Works will be sited in the valley to the South West of Church Farm and will consist of detritus tanks in duplicate, two continuous flow rectangular sedimentation tanks, one storm water tank, two circular bacteria beds and humus tanks in duplicate together with pump house, mess room and sludge beds, the effluent to discharge into the Kingsley Brook. The small Kingsley Holt Works will be sited in Lockwood Wood and will consist of a single detritus tank, two sedimentation tanks, one bacteria bed, one humus tank and sludge beds, the effluent again to discharge into the Kingsley Brook. The scheme should result in the prevention of the present considerable pollution of the brook and the nuisance caused thereby. WATER EXTENSIONS. Wallmyres Pumping Station.
