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 7 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on June 10, 2026. For example: Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?

  • 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 once on May 21, 2026. For example: Is the pool maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?

  • 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 6 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on June 5, 2026. For example: Are proper testing, monitoring, and other records being properly maintained?

  • 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on August 26, 2024. For example: Does the pool have adequate written policies, plans and posted rules and safety information to ensure that the pool is operating in a safe manner?
