Swimming Pool.
The only swimming pool in the Borough open to the
Public is in Danson Park and is owned by the Council. The
layout includes three open-air pools, one large for adults and
two small pools for children. Showers and foot baths are
provided for the pre-cleansing of bathers. The water is kept
pure by continuous filtration and sterilisation by means of
the latest method of break-point chlorination.
Samples of water are taken by this department monthly
during the time the pool is open and the results of bacteriological
examinations have been satisfactory on each occasion.
Verminous Premises.
During the year 6 premises found to be infested with
bed bugs were treated with satisfactory results.
Infestations at other premises were dealt with as follows:—
Cockroaches 3, Flies 1, Moths 3.
Wasps.
The destruction of wasps nests is undertaken by the
Department and during the year 16 nests were destroyed. A
charge of 6s. Od. is made for this service.
