Pools and Spas
All public pools and spas in Island County are permitted annually. Privately owned and privately used facilities do not require a permit.
Public Health staff inspects pools and spas, at a minimum of once per year, in accordance with Washington Administration Code 246-260 (Water Recreation Facilities). To ensure a safe and healthy bathing environment, Public Health monitors water quality, water clarity, pool safety equipment, facility maintenance, and a variety of other safety and facility requirements. All water recreational related complaints are investigated by Public Health staff.
