Reports of all samples taken from mains supply are passed to the West Denbighshire and West Flintshire Water Board for in- formation and any necessary action. The result of a Chemical Analysis of the town’s water supply are given in the Medical Officer’s Report. SWIMMING POOLS Both swimming pools continued to be operated in a satisfactory manner. The increased automation of the ch formation plant at the Royal Lido introduced for the 1969 season has continued to prove helpful in the control of the bacteriological standard of the water. The owners of the paddling pool from which the unsatisfactory samples were taken, were recommended to carry out major modi- fications of the purification plant and, pending completion of such works, the water is to be changed frequently and dosages of bacteriocide increased.
