Recreational Health

Environmental Health staff conducts routine and complaint inspections of public swimming pools to ensure that they remain free of safety hazards and communicable diseases. Public pools include swimming pools, spa pools, and wading pools at schools, community pools, mobile home parks, commercial sites, health clubs, resorts, apartments, condominiums, theme parks, motels and hotels.

Fresno County Environmental Health Division's inspection reports are now available online at www.fresnohealthinspections.org
