Public Pools, Spas and Splash Pads

Recreational water facilities are inspected by Public Health to ensure compliance with Ontario Regulation 565/90 (Public Pools).

Hastings Prince Edward Public Health offers a free online training course covering the important elements of safe pool and spa operation. This course, intended primarily for pool and spa owners/operators and lifeguards, provides information on such topics as:

  • legal responsibilities
  • infectious diseases
  • water chemistry and testing
  • recirculation systems
  • facility management
  • grounds for facility closure

If you’re opening or re-opening a pool or spa, complete and submit a Notification Form* at least 14 days prior to opening. A Public Health Inspector will contact you.

*Note: The online application is accessed through the My Health Department website. To apply, you must create an account with an email address and password. Once your account is created you will be able to view and submit application forms.
