General Information
| Action Summary |
The Regulations Governing Tourist Establishment Swimming Pools and Other Public Pools (hereafter, “Regulations”) were intended to protect the health and safety of patrons using water recreation facilities at Virginia’s tourist establishment facilities. Environmental Health staff inspect these facilities for water quality and safe operation during hotel, campground, and summer camp annual inspections.
On October 14, 2016, the agency completed a Periodic Review of the Regulations, and concluded that they required amendment. On October 17, 2019, fast track amendments to the Regulations addressed legal conflicts with the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code. However, the chapter requires further revision.. This regulatory action intends to update the Regulations with modern standards for health and safety at water recreation facilities. |
