Dear Dre Allens:

On the reverse side of this sheet are listed the results of the
bacteriologicai analysis of the sample of water submitted from
the K.U. Swimming Pool.

The K. U. Pool has a very high total count of bacteria. There
were 5,000 or more in one cubic centimeter of the sample. No
coliform orgenisms were presente. This would give the pool a
“good"rating from a bacteriological stendpoint. The water head

a distinctly mouldy odor. The pH of this sample was 6.9.

This is a little more acid than is best for swimming pool water.

Very truly yours,
DIVISION OF SANITATION
