SWIMMING BATHS.
Visits were made to the three public swimming baths and five school
pools during the year. Twenty-one samples of water were submitted for
bacteriological examination. Checks for pH value and free chlorine were
made, in appropriate cases. The close co-operation which exists between
the Borough Engineer, the Chief Education Officer and this Department is
much appreciated.
One private school pool was voluntarily closed following
unsatisfactory reports on the condition of the water.
