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 8 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on May 11, 2026. For example: Total alkalinity is maintained in the range of 60 ppm to 180 ppm, in every part of the pool and at all times during the daily use period.

  • 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 May 11, 2026. For example: Water is maintained free from any visible matter and contamination that may be hazardous or injurious to the health of the bathers.

  • 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 5 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on May 11, 2026. For example: The pool, the deck and walls, and its equipment are maintained in a safe and sanitary condition and free from potential 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 once on July 2, 2024. For example: Operator trained in operation, maintenance, filtration systems, water chemistry and all relevant safety & emergency procedures
