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.
