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 once on September 7, 2023. For example: Water treatment provided ensures water provided meets requirements of Ontario Drinking Water Quality Standards to ensure it is potable

  • 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 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 7, 2023. For example: Medical Officer of Health (M.O.H.) notified of intent to supply water/ resume supply of water and notified of the identity of the licensed laboratory to be used by the operator for water testing

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Pumps, filters, chemical feeders and safety equipment such as lifebuoys, reaching poles and first-aid kits must be present and working. Missing safety equipment can matter a great deal in an emergency.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 26, 2023. For example: Primary disinfection equipment that does not use chlorination has a functioning audible alarm or a feature that ensures no water is directed to users if the equipment malfunctions/loses power or ceases to provide the appropriate level of disinfection

  • 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 September 26, 2023. For example: Information available to the public upon request

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded 4 times on July 22, 2019. For example: Every owner and operator follows the requirements made in the most recent directive issued.
