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 25, 2026. For example: Where a pool has a water depth of less than 2.5 m, a "SHALLOW WATER - NO DIVING" or CAUTION - AVOID DEEP DIVES caution notice is posted.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food and supplies are stored and handled: kept covered, off the floor, and away from anything that could contaminate them. Where food is served, raw meat must be kept away from ready-to-eat food, a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded once on March 17, 2026. For example: Pool dressing rooms, water closets, and shower facilities are maintained in a clean and sanitary manner, and free from potential health hazards.

  • 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 5 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 25, 2026. For example: A minimum of three Admission Standards signs is posted.

  • 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 9, 2026. For example: All surfaces of pool deck and walls are maintained in a sanitary condition and free from potential hazards.

  • 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 March 17, 2026. For example: Daily turnover rate is acceptable.
