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 9 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on September 25, 2026. 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on January 25, 2024. For example:
Has an owner or owner's agent, if any, been identified and is the pool operated and maintained by a qualified pool operator?
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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on September 25, 2026. For example:
