Notes: :
Inspection today due to a complaint that the pool and spa were open without registration, pool water was yellow, hot tub water looked like milk, pool was dirty. All complaints were verified. Once Mr. Kelly’s insp report and this insp report are complete, call for reinspection prior to reopening. I witnessed the manager locking the pool doors and placing another sign on them stating that the pool was closed. Sample collected today= positive for coliform and pseudomonas. Mgr notified.
