 | Public Swimming Pools, Spas and Lifeguard LicensesEffective June 5, 2020 – Seasonal outdoor pools will be inspected on a rolling basis. Outdoor pools must apply for an operating permit. The permit will be emailed to the applicant. Inspections will be done before opening, if possible. Remaining inspections will be done after opening. Seasonal outdoor pools are inspected each spring prior to their opening, and this year those inspections were postponed due to the suspension of all non-essential activity. Indoor pools may open beginning at 5:00 p.m. on June 19. |
