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 12 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on September 16, 2026. For example: Requirements for steps used for entering and exiting spa are met

• 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 February 4, 2026. For example: Spa has a water heater that is equipped with a tamper-proof upper limit cut-off switch that, limits the maximum temperature of the spa water to 40 degrees Celsius (104F) and is independent of the spa's water temperature thermostat

• 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 June 8, 2026. For example: A first-aid kit is available, stocked, and conveniently located for emergency use.
