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 July 31, 2026. For example:
Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on July 31, 2026. For example:
Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?

- The water sample collected on July 29, 2025, was unsatisfactory due to the presence of Total Coliforms. The spray park must be closed, then to be treated as follows: increase the Free Available Chlorine (FAC) to 10 ppm and maintain a pH of 7.2, then run the water through one turnover of 33.2 minutes, then re-balance the water, and send another sample for bacteriological testing.
