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 6 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on December 15, 2025. For example:
Is the pool premises 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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on December 15, 2025. For example:
Are the general safety devices and physical conditions in this pool premises providing a safe environment (Non-Critical)?
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 once on December 15, 2025. For example:
Does the facility have a valid permit and does the facility operate in compliance with the conditions of that permit?
