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 5 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on July 7, 2026. For example: Shallow Water/No Diving Caution Notice (pool water depth < 2.5 m)

  • 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 3 times on August 5, 2025. For example: Stabilized free available chlorine (FAC) within range of 1 – 10 ppm (Outdoor Pools Only)(5-10 ppm if water temperature =>35°C or if pool is a cold plunge or flotation pool)

  • 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 once on July 7, 2026. For example: Shower signs posted at each shower and every entrance to the deck used by bathers

  • 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 August 5, 2025. For example: Proper test kit is available for use to determine water chemistry (no dip and read strips)
