Recreational water facilities
Public health inspectors routinely inspect recreational water facilities and follow up on complaints from the public.
Recreational water facilities can be used for exercise, relaxation, pleasure, or therapy. They include:
- public pools and spas
- public beaches
- public wading pools and splash pads
- recreational camp waterfronts
- water slide receiving basins
What is our role?
Public health inspectors inspect recreational water facilities to help prevent and reduce waterborne illness and injury related to recreational water use.
Safe Water is one of the mandatory programs under the Ontario Public Health Standards (Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care). Public health units must deliver this program.
Owners and operators of recreational water facilities, that are open to the public, must comply with the regulations and operating standards to protect the health and safety of bathers.
