Public Health Sanitarians from the CDPH Division of Environmental Health are certified as pool operators to ensure proper procedures are being carried out, which will guarantee our citizens safety while utilizing various types of pools around the City of Cleveland. Poorly operated swimming pools and spas can transmit infectious diseases and skin disorders, including eye, ear, nose and throat infectious. Needless tragic deaths from drowning may be prevented if all pools are equipped with a lifeguard or the proper safety equipment.
Our Sanitarians routinely conduct inspections of all pools within the City of Cleveland. All operators are required to keep records of water quality testing results and accidents on a Weekly Operation Report, which is a vital part of the City's inspection procedure.
