survey, using the Volumetric sulphur dioxide method, should be
made by one hundred specially selected towns. Enfield was one
of the authorities selected for the survey, and as the Council agreed
to participate, apparatus was purchased for installation at four
stations situated at Honilands School, Merryhills School, Bush Hill
Park Library and Brimsdown Pumping Station with the intention
of starting observations early in 1962. The present system of
measurement used in Enfield which is by deposit gauge and lead
peroxide method can then be discontinued.
SWIMMING BATH AND POOL
Enfield has two public swimming pools, a relatively modern
open-air pool, built in 1932, situated next to the Sports Stadium,
and an indoor bath at Enfield Lock, built in 1895, but greatly
improved by extensions and modernisation.
As regards the purification of the water, the up-to-date method
of chlorination, filtration and aeration is used at both premises.
This gives a safe and pleasant bathing water. Reports on the
twice-daily examinations for chlorine and alkalinity of the water
are sent to the Medical Officer of Health, and the Public Health
Inspectors take samples for bacteriological tests at appropriate
intervals.
At both the open-air pool and the indoor bath, slipper bath
facilities are available.
PUBLIC MORTUARY
There is now no public mortuary in Enfield, but use is made
at present of a Hospital Mortuary.
