Public Swimming Pools and Spas
This site provides information about the new safety and sanitation standards for pools and links to other useful sites and information.
The Department of State Health Services Environmental Health Program, Local Health Departments, Local Code Enforcement Offices, and other governmental jurisdictions help to provide safety and sanitation of public swimming pools and spas in the state of Texas.
As the result of two separate incidents of individuals contracting Naegleria fowleri from aquatic venues that spray water, the CDC has issued recommendations for the operation and maintenance of these aquatic venues. One of the incidents involved a decorative fountain that was not intended to be used as a public interactive water feature or fountain (PIWF). The Texas Department of State Health Services does not regulate decorative fountains. However, the department does recommend that if a decorative fountain is being used by the public as a PIWF the CDC operation and management recommendations should be followed.
