(ii) PUBLIC SWIMMING BATHS. - There are three public swimming
baths in the Borough, two indoor, 120,000 gallons and 68,000 gallons
respectively and one open-air, of 250,000 gallons approximately.
The larger indoor bath and the open-air bath are closed in winter.
These are filled with mains water at the commencement of each season,
and during the time the baths are open, the water is maintained at a high
standard of purity by continuous filtration and chlorination. The smaller
bath, which is open throughout the year, receives the same treatment but
is emptied biennially for cleaning.
Mains water is used for maintaining the level of water in all baths.
