Recreational Health (Public Swimming Pools, Spa Pools, and Beach Water Quality)

Public Swimming Pools and Spa Pools

The purpose of this program is to protect human health by assuring that public swimming pools and spa pools are maintained in a safe and healthful condition.  

Whether you are a public swimming pool operator or a home owner, it is important to ensure that the physical and chemical environment of your pool or spa is in a safe and healthy condition.  The resource links below can provide some additional helpful information to ensure your family, friends and/or customers can swim safe and be healthy.

Beach Water Quality
