What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for clients. In personal service settings like salons, spas and tattoo studios, higher-risk findings are the ones that could spread infection from one client to the next, through broken skin, blood or instruments that were not properly cleaned and sterilized.

• 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 6 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on September 16, 2026. For example: Free available chlorine (FAC) or total bromine within range of 5-10 ppm

• Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk

  Disinfectants must be the right type for the job, mixed to the correct strength, labelled and replaced on schedule. A disinfectant that is expired or diluted too much may not kill germs on tools, so these findings are treated seriously.

  Recorded once on March 24, 2026. For example: Continuous operation of all equipment and chemical feeders

• Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

  The premises needs a working hand sink, a separate sink for cleaning instruments where required, cleanable surfaces, and good lighting and ventilation. Upkeep problems are usually lower risk on their own, but they make thorough cleaning harder.

  Recorded once on March 24, 2026. For example: Premises is maintained free from every serious condition that may be a health hazard

• 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 once on March 24, 2026. For example: Emergency stop button requirements met
