    Drainage and Sewerage The Bourne Valley Drainage Scheme was approximately three quarters finished by the end of 1965 and it is expected that it will be completed by the early part of the summer. The Sewage Disposal Plant for these works is situated at Barton Stacey. This site was purchased by the Council from the Army Authorities. The scheme will drain the villages of Hurstbourne Tarrant and Longparish together with St. Mary Bourne and Stoke in the Kingsclere and Whitchurch Rural District. The scheme to drain Abbotts Ann and Clatford to the ex—R.A.F. Sewage Disposed. Plant Site at Abbotts Ann was completed during the year end ninety six connections were made to this scheme. Public Cleansing A weekly refuse collection was continued throughout the district, refuse being tipped by means of controlled tipping at Chilbolton Down. The Council continued to operate a cess pool emptying service for all villages which were not able to connect to a main drainage scheme. There was a heavy demand for this service, two tankers being in continual use. During 1965, 850 cess pools and septic tanks were emptied in the area.
