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.

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Inspectors check that anything that has to be kept at a set temperature, such as chilled or hot food, or equipment like sterilizers, stays in its safe range and that accurate thermometers are on hand. With food, temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning.

    Recorded 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on September 23, 2026. For example: Is the pool maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?

  • Pool and spa water qualityHigher risk

    For pools, spas and splash pads, inspectors test disinfectant levels, pH and water clarity, and check safety equipment. Water that is not properly treated can spread skin, ear and stomach infections.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 28, 2026. For example: Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?

  • Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk

    Pool chemicals such as chlorine and acid must be labelled, stored apart from each other and handled safely. Mixing them by mistake can release toxic gas, so storage and handling problems are treated seriously.

    Recorded once on April 29, 2024. For example: Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
