![parishes in the Rural District, (Bildeston, Lavenham and Boxford, including 20 houses in Sherbourne Street, Edwardstone), have modern sewerage and sewage disposal facilities., Although it is not possible on financial grounds to extend sewerage fa.cilitios to the remoter parts of these villages, facilities are available to serve 985 dwellings which represents 68% of the total houses in the throe parishes, Of this number 922 (81% of the total houses) are connected to the public jsewors and have water closets. As illustrated in the following tables 93% of the dwellings which can be served by the public sewers have been provided with water closets. This very high proportion of dwellings connected to the public sewers is accounted for by the co-operation of property owners and the financial inducement of £15 towards the cost of conversion of E.Cs. to V/.Cs.ofiorcd by the Council where schemes were carried out within a stated time after the completion of the sewerage schemes. Where the co-operation of owners has not been obtained, the Council have secured the provision of W.Cs. and drainage by Statutory Notices. The remaining dwellings on the routes of sewers but not yet provided with W.Cs. and drainage are mostly houses scheduled for slum clearance procedure. The Council have given instructions to their Consulting Engineers to prepare schemes for the sewerage of the parishes of Kersey and Monks Eleigh, Sewerage Connections Village Schemes as at 51°12„58.
