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.

  • 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 17, 2026. For example: Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?

  • 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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 24, 2024. For example: Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?
