Pool Safety

About Us

Our focus is to ensure that all public pools are free of safety hazards and risks of communicable diseases.  

Public Pools include swimming pools, spa pools, and wade pools at apartments, condominiums, townhouses, hotels, motels, schools, community parks, commercial sites, health clubs, mobile home parks, campgrounds, auto courts, and resorts. Routine pool inspections are conducted to cover issues from construction to water chemistry and operations. For more information or questions regarding a specific public pool, please contact us.
