| Facility had the automatic chemical controller uninstalled a couple years ago and removed the chlorine chemical feeder. The muriatic acid feeder was still hooked up, but was no longer in use. All chemicals were being added by hand to the pool every day. The facility will be required to replace any uninstalled equipment and provide an equipment replacement form to the state for approval. A warning sign was affixed to the door of the pool area informing the public of the conditions of the pool. The sign may only be removed after the necessary corrections have been made. |
