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 15 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on January 15, 2025. For example:
Is the pool maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?
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 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on January 22, 2026. For example:
Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?
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 January 22, 2026. For example:
Are the general safety devices and physical conditions in this pool providing a safe environment (Critical)?
