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 11 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on September 22, 2026. For example: The pH value is within the range of 7.2 - 7.8, in every part of the spa and at all times during the daily use period.

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on March 24, 2026. For example: Testing in accordance with the Regulation is conducted during the daily use period (TA, pH, FAC, TC, Br, Water Clarity, and Water Temperature).

  • 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 March 24, 2026. For example: Operator conducted the required inspections and recorded the results. Records are retained for a period of 1 year.
