Water Recreation – Public Swimming Pools and Spas
Back to Environmental Public Health
The Water Recreation Program protects public
health by working with owners and operators of public and semi-public water
recreation facilities to prevent drowning, illnesses and injuries. Approximately
170 seasonal and 80 annual facilities in Spokane County are permitted and
inspected at least annually for compliance with state regulations.
The Water Recreation Program provides additional
services, such as plan review and pre-occupancy inspections of new or modified
facilities, response to public health or safety concerns regarding permitted
facilities, and water safety consultations for pool owners and operators. The program also works with community
partners to provide drowning prevention education to the public.
Three environmental health specialists
(inspectors) and a technical advisor staff the Water Recreation Program, in
addition to clerical and management support.
