Context
Administrative/Biographical history:
Following a conference with the Ministry of Health on 24 September 1931, the Kingston-upon-Thames Borough Council, the Surbiton Urban District Council, the Maldens and Coombe Urban District Council, the Epsom Urban District Council and the Epsom Rural District Council appointed a joint committee to investigate the question of the centralisation of the sewage works in the Hogsmill Drainage Area. After discussions spread over several years, it was decided that such a scheme would be viable and the Hogsmill Valley Joint Sewerage Board was created with effect from 1 April 1940 by the Hogsmill Valley Joint Sewerage Order 1940. The Board consisted of three members from each of the constituent authorities who, following changes in local authority boundaries and the granting of charters of incorporation, were now the four corporations of Epsom and Ewell, Kingston-upon-Thames, Malden and Coombe and Surbiton. The Order, however, authorised the constituent councils to discharge the functions of the Joint Board concurrently in their districts until such time as the Board's new works should be completed. This concurrent jurisdiction lasted until 1960, when the name of the Board was also changed to the North Surrey Joint Sewage Board.
The Hogsmill Valley Sewage Works are situated in Lower Marsh Lane, Berrylands, Kingston-upon-Thames.
The Board's functions were transferred to the Greater London Council on 1 April 1965 by virtue of Section 35(1) of the London Government Act 1963.
