(ii) PUBLIC SWIMMING BATHS. - There are three
public swimming baths in the Borough. Two indoor, 120,000
gallons and 66,000 gallons respectively and one open-air,
of 250,000 gallons approximately. Mains water supply is
used in all cases and the method of treatment is by breakpoint
chlorination. The water is normally changed once
annually in the case of the larger indoor bath and the openair
bath, which are closed during the winter months. The
smaller indoor bath is, however, in ope ration throughout the
whole of the year, and as is the case with all the baths, is
"topped up" as necessary.
Six samples of water for examination were taken
from the open-air swimming bath from April to September.
The samples were satisfactory. Fifteen samples were also
taken from the two indoor baths during January, March,
April, May, June, July, August, September and November:
all the samples were satisfactory and of a high standard of
bacterial purity.
