SEWAGE AND SEWAGE DISPOSAL The Engineer has furnished the following information— “The West Handley Scheme was started; when completed, it will replace an old and unsatisfactory sewage tank by a small purification plant and for the sewering of West Handley, A start was made on the new pumping station at Woodhouse Lane, Beighton, the necessity arose from conditions caused by flooding of the River Rother and from building development in the area. The scheme will be finished in 1956 and a new pumping plant will replace a fifty year old sewage ejector. It is hoped that in 1956 some progress will be made in the Northern Central Sewage Scheme. The scheme involves the erection of large new works at Holbrook and the abandoning of the obsolete and overloaded works at Mosborough, Eckington, Holbrook and Killamarsh.
