Violations:
A summary of the violations found during the inspection are listed below.
| Code | Description / Observation / Corrective Action |
| 205 | Improper Monitoring of Chemical Paramaters or Safety Tests Observation: Records of the daily tested pool chemical parameters indicated that the operator was only testing once per day. The minimum requirement of chemical testing, as recorded in the records/logs, is twice per day for disinfectants used measured in ppm (i.e., free available chlorine), combined chlorine measured in ppm, and pH. Public health significance: the appropriate level of free available chlorine and pH are essential to the adequate disinfection of pathogens in the pool water. Elevated combine chlorine levels may lead to acute health effects and discomfort, and the long-term exposure to high levels of combined chlorine can lead to chronic health effects. Corrective Action: Operator is to test and record the free available chlorine (ppm), combined chlorine (ppm), and pH, at least twice a day during the hours of the pool's operation and use. |
| 302 | Inadequate or Lack of Lifesaving/Safety Equipment Observation: Pool throw ring was not secured with a rope. A throwing ring must be securely attached to a rope/line of at least 6 mm diameter and having a length of at least half the width of the pool plus 3 meters (m). Public health significance: the mentioned safety equipment standards ensure pool operators and staff can effectively respond to any bather drowning incidents. Corrective Action: Pool operator must purchase a new rope/line of at least 6 mm in diameter and having a length of at least half the width of the pool plus 3 m. The adequate rope must be securely attached to the throw ring and accessible at all times to staff and bathers. |
| 305 | Improper Maintenance of Pool Surface, Walkways, Floors and/or Construction Observation: Water from the pool and water slides were observed to be accumulated/ponded on multiple locations on the pool deck/walkways. Public health significance: the ponding of pool water may be a slipping hazard and increase the risk of physical injuries among bathers and staff. Corrective Action: Operator and/or staff must monitor the ponding of pool water on the pool deck/walkways and have staff use a broom to push the accumulated water into the installed drains. |
| 305 | Improper Maintenance of Pool Surface, Walkways, Floors and/or Construction Observation: No functioning flow rate meter was installed for the swimming pool. Public health significance: proper flow rate is essential to ensure that pool water is sufficiently treated, disinfected, and filtered. Corrective Action: A flow rate meter must be installed for the swimming pool to ensure an adequate turnover rate is being met. |
