General Pool Information
The Cabell Huntington Health Department strives to ensure that the numerous water recreational facilities (pools, spas, water parks, etc…) existing within our territory are operated and maintained to ensure optimum public safety for their thousands of users. CHHD works with facility owners/operators to aid them in creating a safe recreational environment for their guests:
- Review plans of all new and remodeled water recreational facilities
- Educate water recreational facilities operators about health and safety issues
- Conduct routine inspections; and
- Investigate reports of illness and potential safety hazards
