A "public swimming pool" is defined as an artificial body of water used by the public for swimming, diving,
wading, recreation or therapy. The term includes municipal, school, hotel, motel, apartment, athletic
clubs and other pools and spas.
There are currently 42 pools, wading pools and spas in Macon County. Public swimming pools must renew
their permits to operate in Macon County each year and be inspected by Environmental Health staff. During
the inspection, we check water chemistry and temperature; pool construction features such as fences,
ladders, steps, decks and lighting; pool circulation system; depth markers, diving markers; safety
provisions such as signage, life saving equipment, and suction hazards. Information and resources regarding
state public swimming pool requirements are provided below.
