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 13 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on August 21, 2026. For example: The pool is rendered inaccessible to persons who are not involved with its operation, inspection or maintenance, except during the daily use period.

  • 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 August 19, 2026. For example: Operator conducted the required inspections and recorded the results. Records are retained for a period of 1 year.

  • 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 once on August 19, 2026. For example: Safety equipment, in accordance with the Regulation, is provided and conveniently located for emergency use at the pool.

  • 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 16, 2026. For example: A land line emergency telephone is provided, easily accessible and directly connected to an emergency service or to the local telephone utility.
