Conferences between the Works Management, Council members
and officers and nearby residents have so far failed to secure the
permanent improvement anticipated.
Continual observations are still being taken with a view to
enforcing, as far as possible within present legislation, the best
practicable means of preventing a nuisance, not only in the two
cases referred to but also at other premises liable to cause a smoke
nuisance.
SWIMMING BATHS AND POOL
The water at each of the Baths in Enfield is tested twice daily
by the Superintendents to ascertain the concentration of Chlorine
in the water. In addition, samples are taken each week by my
Department and examined in the 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.
