The unsatisfactory sample from the public bath was obtained at a time when the
plant was undergoing repair.
The unsatisfactory results from the schools were due to the presence of B coli
Type II, and the dichloramines, permanganate value and albuminoid nitrogen being too
high. The reason for the unsatisfactory result from the private bath was that the pH
value was too low.
When these results were notified to the appropriate authorities, the necessary
action was taken so as to ensure that satisfactory samples were obtained.
DRAINAGE AND SEWERAGE
The Greater London Council is responsible for the treatment of soil sewage at
its Disposal Works at Mogden and Barking. The surface water drainage, where it is not
combined with soil drainage, is discharged to water courses or the River Brent.
30 premises, not connected to the main sewers, are drained to cesspools or
septic tank installations and four premises have pail closets.
