County Departments

Public Swimming Pools & Recreational Water

Public swimming pools and splash pads located in Midland County are inspected by the Midland County Department of Public Health’s Environmental Health Sanitarians.

Environmental Health Sanitarians work with public swimming pool and splash pad operators to ensure their facilities are maintaining safe and sanitary conditions.

Seasonal outdoor pools must pass an inspection before they open for the season.
Pools that operate year-round must pass an annual inspection to remain open.
ALL public pool waters are to be sampled by the operator at least once per quarter to determine bacteria levels.
Public swimming pool owners must test pool water disinfectant residuals before and during each period of swimming pool use, at a frequency of at least once per day.
Logs are to be maintained for daily testing and will be submitted to the Health Department monthly.

A public swimming pool or splash pad that is not maintaining safe and sanitary conditions in accordance with applicable rules and regulations, will be closed until conditions are made safe for the public.

Public Recreational Water:

The Midland County Department of Public Health’s Environmental Health Division monitors “public” access water bodies located on public and private property.

The city and county park beaches are sampled routinely.
Campgrounds within Midland County that have access to lakes or rivers have the option of sampling designated beach access areas.

Weekly sampling and sanitary surveys are conducted during the normal summer swimming season (beginning of June-September).

Midland County sampling and beach condition surveys are added to the MiEnviro Portal. The portal includes current and historic information on:

Water quality sampling results
Beach advisories and closures

If water monitoring shows that bacteria levels are unsafe, or there are other water quality concerns that could impact health, beach owners/operators will be notified and advised of necessary corrective action(s).

The Environmental Health Division has the responsibility to protect the health of the public, and close public beaches if unsafe conditions cannot be corrected immediately.

For water bodies located on private property: For information on whether the pond or lake on your private property or in your subdivision is safe for swimming, refer to: Improved Enumeration Methods for the Recreational Water Quality Indicators: Enterococci and Escherichia coli.

Tips to promote outdoor water safety:

Take steps to prevent drowning: Drowning Prevention | CDC
Wear sunscreen or sun protection such as: hat, long sleeves, cover-ups, etc.
Wear closed and sturdy shoes to avoid foot injuries.
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
Take breaks if you need to, and know the Warning Signs and Symptoms of Heat-Related Illness
Have fun!
