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 6 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on August 25, 2025. For example: Are the general safety devices and physical conditions in this pool providing a safe environment (Critical)?

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Many jurisdictions require trained pool operators and certified lifeguards. These findings mean required training, certification or staffing records were missing at the time of inspection.

    Recorded once on November 20, 2023. For example: Does the pool have adequate written policies, plans and posted rules and safety information to ensure that the pool is operating in a safe manner?

6 inspections

  1. Risk Management Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 12. Are the general safety devices and physical conditions in this pool providing a safe environment (Critical)?
      • The maximum flow rate of the whirlpool exceeds the rating of the main drain covers. - Jet flow rate = 50 X 2 = 100gpm - Jet +recirculation flow rate = 100gpm + 80gpm = 180gpm. This is exceeding the main drain covers maximum flow rating of 178gpm. Please re-test the jet pumps to confirm the maximum flow rate. If the max flow rate is still exceeding the drain cover rating of 178gpm modifications will be required to be made to adjust the max flow to a level below the drain cover maximum rating. Alternatively, new higher rated main drain covers could be installed.
