Environmental Health Department
Recreational Health Program
In the Recreational Health Program we are responsible for the enforcement of laws and regulations regarding public swimming pools, spas, wading pools and special purpose pools. We conduct routine and follow up inspections, investigate public complaints and review and approve public pool plans for compliance with state laws and regulations. The purpose of the program is to insure the safe and sanitary operation of public swimming facilities, as well as to prevent the possible transmission of disease and illness. By monitoring the quality of recreational waters, we can keep the public informed if these waters pose a threat to public health.
Accidents in public pools or spas that involve fecal materials, dead animals or other biological contaminants can lead to the transmission of serious, even life threatening illnesses. In the event of an accident, precautionary measures should be taken immediately to help reduce the risk to recreational facility users.
