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 8 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on September 14, 2026. For example: Pool, deck and walls maintained in a sanitary condition, safe and free from hazards

  • 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 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on February 27, 2026. For example: Safety equipment available and in good repair

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Decks, ladders, fencing, drains, washrooms and signage must be in good repair. Damaged drain covers or broken fencing can be real safety hazards, while most other upkeep issues are lower risk.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on March 12, 2026. For example: Premises is maintained free from every serious condition that may be a health hazard

  • 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 September 14, 2026. For example: Other records signed and completed

  • 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 14, 2026. For example: Recirculation system of water facility is in good working condition (including automatic dosing device)
