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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on August 26, 2026. For example: Where cyanurate stabilization is maintained in outdoor pools, free available chlorine (FAC) reads a minimum of 1.0 ppm and not more than 10 ppm, in association with a cyanuric acid concentration of not greater than 60 ppm.

  • 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 5 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on May 15, 2026. For example: Operator kept and signed daily records. Records are retained for a period of 1 year.

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 15, 2026. For example: Safety equipment, in accordance with the Regulation, is provided and conveniently located for emergency use at the pool.

  • 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 May 20, 2025. For example: Emergency stop button requirements met, if applicable
