WCCHD will continue to respond to infectious disease-related complaints at commercial pools, spas, artificial lagoons, and splash pads.
For pool owners seeking inspections for insurance purposes or otherwise, private companies can provide these services. WCCHD recommends searching online for a Certified Pool Inspector.
For members of the public concerned with structural, safety/drowning prevention, and operation issues of commercial pools, spas, artificial lagoons, and splash pads, WCCHD will refer to the appropriate local City Code Enforcement for investigation, remediation, regulation, and determining compliance of these aquatic facilities with Texas Law and Rules and City ordinances. For unincorporated areas, individuals may raise concerns with their precinct’s commissioner. See more at: Texas Department of State Health Services Public Swimming Pools and Spas.
