General Comments

Inspection conducted with Kim Lucas. Due to COVID-19 precautions, inspection was not signed by the operator. Pre-permit items noted on previous inspection have been corrected. New issues observed on today's inspection. Appears that pool has been open and operating without a permit. Pool closed signs were not observed. Keep pool closed until after receiving a passing inspection and a permit to operate from Mecklenburg County Public Health. Pre-permit inspection did not pass.
