BATHS AND SWIMMING POOLS
The Council's baths in Longfield Avenue contain four
indoor swimming pools. The water is drawn from the mains
of the Metropolitan Water Board and is supplied to the
pools by continuous coagulation and filtration through
four high pressure filters, combined with continuous
chlorination. Tests for chlorine are applied at frequent
intervals throughout each day to maintain an approved
level of residual chlorine. The water in all four pools
is completely circulated every four hours.
Three samples taken for bacterial tests proved to be
satisfactory.
There are two privately owned swimming pools in the
Borough, both of which are equipped with filtration and
chlorination plants.
