4 of 11 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 1 infraction recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality and Chemicals and toxic substances.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

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 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on March 25, 2024. For example: Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Critical)?

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on March 4, 2026. For example: Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?

      • Total alkalinity is measured at a concentration of 33 ppm at the time of inspection. Operator was able make adjustments to the pool chemistry by adding sodium bicarbonate to raise the alkalinity during the inspection. Alkalinity was measured at 71 ppm after adjustments. Ensure that the alkalinity of the pool is maintained at a concentration of no less than 60 ppm and no greater than 180 ppm.
