Swimming pools pose a unique mix of both potential health and safety dangers. Environmental Health inspects swimming pools to ensure chemical levels are sufficient to protect bathers from most harmful organisms as well as ensure adequate safety equipment is present.

THINGS TO KNOW

All public swimming pools, including neighborhood and apartment complex pools, are regulated and inspected by Public Health. Environmental Health Specialists conduct over 4,000 inspections each year to ensure swimming pool operators are maintaining safe and healthy pools. Inspections are conducted for not only chemical hazards but physical hazards as well.

Environmental Health Specialists inspect both seasonal pools and year-round pools regularly throughout the year. Staff also evaluates plans for any new construction or renovation to ensure structural/mechanical deficiencies are addressed.

Listed below are applications and forms for each county.

Community Health Assessment / Community Health Improvement Plans

Community Health Assessments (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIP) have been created for the three counties we serve.

The community-wide health assessment, which examines the county’s health status, is intended to help shape the collaborative efforts to improve the health of residents.

The community health improvement plan describes how the Health Department and a variety of community partners will work together to improve the health of the population through various projects and programs.

Access each county’s CHA and CHIP below:
