General Comments

Inspection conducted with operator Ryan. Immediate suspension of permit issued due to improper water chemistry. Chlorine at 0ppm, pH at 8.0. Pool closed with signs posted during inspection. Pool must remain closed with signs posted until permit is re-instated. Call Hope McIntosh at 980-229-7549 once corrected. Note: damage to wall tiles at coping and eroded plater on corners under wall tile resulting in possible sharp edges. Operator noted they were working on contract with Caribbean to have plaster and wall tiles corrected. Wall tiles and plaster must be repaired prior to permit issuance for 2024. Emergency phone speaker breaking up - in and out. EHS able to connect to Kings III and to local 911 operators, however, communications difficult. EHS strongly recommends having phone serviced to prevent outage.
