SWIMMING BATHS AND FOOL
The water at each of the Baths in Enfield is tested twice daily
by the Superintendents to ascertain tne concentration of Chlorine
in the water. In addition, samples are taken each week by my
Department and examined in tne Laboratory at the Office for
chlorine content and alkalinity.
During the warm part of the Season samples of the water have
been sent to the Public Health Laboratories where a full bacteriological
examination is carried out.
I was satisfied that throughout the Season the purity of the
water in the Baths was satisfactorily maintained.
SCHOOLS
The sanitary condition of the County Schools in the District
is under the constant supervision of the Sanitary Inspectors and
any defects found are immediately brought to the notice of the
Authorities concerned.
The sanitary conveniences at all the voluntary schools are
attended to daily by an employee of the Health Department.
MILK
Sixteen cowkeepers in the District maintain herds of milch
cows. Despite difficulties the standard of cleanliness has been fairly
well maintained.
Three of the farms produce Tuberculin tested milk, and six
produce Accredited milk. Regular sampling of these specially
designated milks by the Middlesex County Council have shown
consistently satisfactory results throughout the year.
