Swimming Pools & Spas

The Health Department provides annual licenses to public pool/spa operations.  Each operation is inspected at a minimum of one time per year during their operation period.  These inspections check for water temperature, clarity, chemical balance, and safety/cleanliness of the overall swimming environment.

All public swimming pool and spa operators are required by law to obtain a license from the local health district. These facilities are required to be compliant with Ohio’s Public Pool/Spa regulations. Routine inspections during the operation of the public pool assess the operator’s success in assuring that routine practices are conducted in a safe and sanitary manner.
