What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people using the facility. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly cause illness or injury, such as water that is not properly treated.

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Pumps, filters, chemical feeders and safety equipment such as lifebuoys, reaching poles and first-aid kits must be present and working. Missing safety equipment can matter a great deal in an emergency.

    Recorded 4 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 13, 2026. For example: Primary disinfection equipment designed and operated with an audible alarm or a feature that ensures no water is directed to users if the disinfection equipment malfunctions, loses power or ceases to provide the appropriate level of disinfection.

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, water-test logs, posted bather rules and emergency procedures. Daily test logs are how operators show the water was checked and treated between inspections.

    Recorded 3 times on August 29, 2022. For example: All sampling, testing, monitoring and reporting requirements under this Regulation are complied with

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Many jurisdictions require trained pool operators and certified lifeguards. These findings mean required training, certification or staffing records were missing at the time of inspection.

    Recorded once on August 29, 2022. For example: The owner and operator of a small drinking water system shall ensure that the required information is available for inspection.

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded 7 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 13, 2026. For example: Ensure sampling and testing of water samples in accordance with assigned frequency.
