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 13 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on July 2, 2026. For example:
The pool is rendered inaccessible to persons who are not involved with its operation, inspection or maintenance, except during the daily use period.
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 7 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on July 2, 2026. For example:
There is continuous operation of the circulation system and the chemical feeders throughout the entire 24 hours of each day without regard to the daily use period.
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 29, 2025. For example:
Operator kept and signed daily records. Records are retained for a period of 1 year.
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 29, 2025. For example:
Water clarity is satisfactory.
