Inspection summary

Watercrest has been inspected 5 times by Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit since June 25, 2025. The most recent inspection, on August 25, 2026, recorded 2 infractions.

None of the 5 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 3 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality.

Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.

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, 2026. For example: Pool is equipped with anti-entrapment drain cover(s)

  • 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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on August 25, 2026. For example: Daily records are kept and signed each operating day.

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Decks, ladders, fencing, drains, washrooms and signage must be in good repair. Damaged drain covers or broken fencing can be real safety hazards, while most other upkeep issues are lower risk.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 27, 2025. For example: Premises is operated and maintained free from conditions that may be an immediate health hazard.

  • 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 2 times on June 25, 2025. For example: Oxidation reduction potential (ORP) value is within range of 600 mV to 900 mV.
