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.
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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 22, 2026. For example:
Free available chlorine (FAC) or total bromine within range of 5 ppm to 10 ppm.
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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on April 9, 2026. For example:
Public spa and its equipment maintained in a safe and sanitary condition and in proper working order.
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 across 3 separate inspections, most recently on February 18, 2026. For example:

Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk
