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 November 13, 2024. For example: Are general nuisance conditions, other than those noted in other violations, being prevented at this pool premises (Non-Critical)?

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Many jurisdictions require trained pool operators and certified lifeguards. These findings mean required training, certification or staffing records were missing at the time of inspection.

    Recorded 9 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on August 23, 2026. For example: Does the pool premises have adequate written policies, plans and posted rules and safety information to ensure that the pool is operating in a safe manner?

    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.
