    34 WATER SUPPLY. The area is supplied with water by the Metropolitan Water Board and the Colne Valley Water Company. RIVERS AND STREAMS. It was not found necessary to take any official action during the year in connection with the pollution of streams. I am indebted to Mr. A. 0. Knight, the Borough Surveyor and Engineer, for the following notes on Sewage Disposal, Sewerage and Scavenging :— SEWAGE DISPOSAL. In March, 1936, the Middlesex County Council's Sewage Disposal Works for dealing with the whole of West Middlesex came into operation and since then the Hendon Sewage Disposal Works have ceased to operate. MAIN SEWERAGE. The main sewers of the Borough have been maintained in good condition throughout the area and a few minor exten sions have been made to deal with new development. Certain schemes are under consideration for the provision of relief sewers in the northern part of the area where development is proceeding. SCAVENGING OF HIGHWAYS. The scavenging of the highways in the Borough is still carried out on the beat system. The Corporation has equipped a considerable proportion of its area with a new and improved type of orderly truck. The total length of highways at present being scavenged is approximately 122 miles.
