Cabell Huntington Health Department Swimming Pool Information

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

CHHD also relies on the public and the owner/operators to educate themselves about proper water safety and apply their knowledge at their establishment. The following links provide a wealth of information on water recreational facility safety:
