Unsatisfactory Inspections of Swimming Pool and Spa Facilities

Select Indicator

The percentage of swimming pool inspections marked as “Unsatisfactory”.

The past two decades have shown an increase in the number of recreational water illness outbreaks associated with swimming pools, water parks, hot tubs, lakes, rivers and oceans. To protect public health, the Florida Department of Health has adopted sanitation and safety standards for public pools in Chapter 64E-9, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), and enforces those rules through the issuance of operating permits and inspections. County health departments conduct routine inspections, collect samples and maintain standards at public swimming pools and bathing areas to minimize the risk of disease and injury.

Data Note(s)

Data Source: Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Environmental Health

Chart will display if there are at least three years of data.
Multi-year counts are a sum of the selected years, not an average.
Quartiles are calculated when data is available for at least 51 counties.
MOV - Measure of Variability: Probable range of values resulting from random fluctuations in the number of events. Not calculated when numerator is below 5 or denominator is below 20, or count or rate is suppressed. The MOV is useful for comparing rates to a goal or standard. For example, if the absolute difference between the county rate and the statewide rate is less than the MOV, the county rate is not significantly different from the statewide rate (alpha level = 0.05). When the absolute difference between the county rate and the statewide rate is greater than the MOV, the county rate is significantly different from the statewide rate. MOV should not be used to determine if the rates of two different counties, or the county rates for two different years, are statistically significantly different.
Denom - abbreviated for Denominator.
Population estimates are not available for persons whose county of residence is unknown. Given this, the denominator and associated rate are not available.
* - Indicates the county rate is statistically significantly different from the statewide rate.

These data show the total number of unsatisfactory inspections divided by the total number of inspections performed during indicated time period, with the results expressed as a percentage.
Swimming pool inspection data includes the Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID) in the Disney area; however, RCID is neither listed as a county, nor are their data included in the counts of other counties. Instead, they are included in the state total. When the sum of the county data is less than the state total, the difference belongs to the RCID.
This is secondary, quantitative data.
