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 7 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on June 27, 2024. For example:
pH is within range of 7.2 to 7.8
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 6, 2026. For example:
Safety equipment available and in good repair (inner horizontal dimension >3m)
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on March 28, 2024. For example:
Daily records completed and signed
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 5 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on April 3, 2024. For example:
Clock installed in conspicuous location
