Plano officials: city inspects public pools annually and closes those that fail
Summary
Steve Stoler said Plano—s environmental health inspections of public recreational pools occur once a year during summer months, focus on safety and water quality, and result in closures until violations are corrected.
Steve Stoler, a staff member, said Plano—s environmental health department inspects recreational pools open to the public once a year during the summer and orders pools closed if they fail an inspection.
Stoler said inspectors check life-safety equipment, plumbing and disinfection systems and test water quality to prevent waterborne illnesses and water-related accidents. "It's all about keeping you healthy and safe," he said.
According to Stoler, inspections cover pools at apartment complexes, city-owned and -operated facilities and fitness centers. He said pools that fail are ordered closed and must be reinspected after violations are corrected before reopening.
The brief update closed with Stoler saying, "We'll see you soon for another Stoler on the Street." The remarks were a public-information summary rather than a formal policy discussion or vote.
