Public Swimming Pools

Environmental Public Health - DOH-Charlotte

The Florida Department of Health (DOH) is responsible under Chapter 514, Florida Statutes, for the routine surveillance of water quality and safety at all public swimming pools. To protect the public health, the DOH has adopted sanitation and safety standards for public pools in Chapter 64E-9, Florida Administrative Code, and enforces those rules through the issuance of operating permits and inspections. Permitting and inspections are done by the Environmental Public Health Section of the DOH in each county.
