It could scarcely be otherwise, when in bye-gone days it probably fulfilled the function of the main sewer for the City. Surface ^ drainage is the only form of drainage which is knowingly allowed to enter it now during its course through the City. DRAINAGE AND SEWERAGE. The City Engineer (Mr. E. H. Ford) has kindly supplied me with the following remarks on this matter :— “In the more recently developed portions of the Cit) separate foul and surface water sewers have been installed. These relieve the main foul sewers of some of the storm ^\atet■ that would otherwise enter them.
