The borough of Harrogate has a model system of drainage and
sewerage.
The sewage matter and surface water are conveyed to farms
outside Harrogate - one called "The Jenny Plain Farm,"
310 acres in extent, lying along the Ripon Road on one side and
the Skipton Road on the other, and a second, beyond Wetherby Lane
- there on both farms to be deodorised by the soil, and to
fertilise the land.
The sewers have numerous ventilators, and consequently there is
an efficient escape of sewer gas, thus insuring a healthy sanitary
condition of the houses.
Following this, as a good result, is the almost entire absence
of typhoid fever, diphtheria, and ailments dependent on foul air.
