The Recreational Health Program consists of three elements:The purpose of this program is to assure that all public recreational waters, and public swimming pools and spas are free of safety hazards, disease and life threatening occurrences.
Routine inspections are conducted of public swimming pools, spas and beach recreational areas. Public swimming pools and spas are evaluated for water quality, proper recirculation, and maintenance. They are also inspected to assure that the required safety equipment, signs, fences, and gates are provided and maintained.
Plans of new pools are reviewed and construction inspections conducted to assure compliance with appropriate laws and regulations.
