Under Section 98 of the Public Health (London) Act, 1936, nine notices were received
and the necessary action was taken with reference to premises in which the water supply
had been cut off.
In connection with new dwellings, 965 certificates were issued under Section 95 (2) of
the Public Health (London) Act, 1936, to the effect that a proper and sufficient supply of
water for sanitary and domestic purposes had been provided.
An additional supply of water was furnished to the upper floors of 103 tenement
houses under powers contained in Section 78 of the London County Council (General Powers)
Act, 1907.
PUBLIC BATHS AND WASHHOUSES.
These are provided by the Borough Council at the following situations:—Prince of
Wales Road, N.W.5 ; Whitfield Street, W.l ; and King Street, N.W.I.
A block of 12 slipper baths, available to the public, adjoins the Council's flats at
Prospect Terrace, W.C.I.
The water supply in all cases is obtained from the mains of the Metropolitan Water
Board, but at the Prince of Wales Road Baths an additional supply is available from a deep
well on the premises. For reasons of economy and hygiene the Council decided to instal a
water purification plant to serve the four swimming pools at these baths, and the work was
completed during the year.
Discussion has taken place with Officers of the London County Council with a view to
effecting certain improvements in the Highgate Swimming Pools, which lie within the area of
the Borough.
