“If you can’t see the bottom of the pool, …..don’t get in the water”

“Pool operators are required to keep logs of when they test the water”

Lana Charrington, director of Environmental Health for the Ross County Health District, said her department checks any public pools in county, including those in hotels, the YMCA, spas and the city pool. The inspection includes:

• checking the water circulation
