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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on February 14, 2023. For example: Total alkalinity between 80mg/L (80ppm) and 120mg/L (120ppm).

• 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 August 30, 2022. For example: Pool, deck, equipment, sanitary facility and adjoining areas kept in a safe and sanitary manner and free from hazards.

• 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 November 15, 2024. For example: Safety equipment available and in good repair.

• Food safety training and certificationLower risk

  Many jurisdictions require trained pool operators and certified lifeguards. These findings mean required training, certification or staffing records were missing at the time of inspection.

  Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on December 8, 2022. For example: "Pool Rules" notices displayed with complete information.

• 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 September 22, 2025. For example: Daily records complete, signed, and maintained.
