The goal of the Safe Water Program is to reduce the incidence of water-borne illness in the community. We believe that safe recreational water is a fundamental component of a healthy community and that our citizens have a right to safe public recreational water facilities such as beaches, public: pools, spas, wading and splash pads.
In order to meet that goal, Health Unit staff conduct inspections at public recreational water facilities within Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Counties to ensure that these places are safe and prevent injuries for everyone. In addition, health unit staff inspect recreational facilities to reduce communicable disease transmission from exposures to water used for bathing at beaches, public pools, spas, wading pools and splash pads.
