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 22 times across 12 separate inspections, most recently on January 14, 2026. For example:
An operator of a pool has prepared, maintains, and follows a written pool safety plan to ensure the health and safety of pool patrons
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 8, 2023. For example:
Chemicals are stored in a safe manner and location
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 once on November 12, 2021. For example:
The pool water temperature is properly maintained
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 10 times across 10 separate inspections, most recently on January 14, 2026. For example:
Pool equipment is regularly tested for safety and maintained in accordance with the manufacturers' specifications
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 January 3, 2025. For example:
The hot tub enclosure has a clock and instructions for safe use of the hot tub, in clear view
