Examination of Water
The water for the swimming baths is obtained from the
mains of the Metropolitan Water Board. Four times every
day ortho-tolidine colour tests and phenol red pH tests
are carried out by the Baths' staff and every month
whilst the baths are in use samples of water are taken
from each pool for bacteriological and chemical analysis.
During 1960, thirty-six samples were examined and found
to be satisfactory. A summary of the bacteriological
findings appears on page 57.
