Public Swimming Inspections
Midland County's public swimming pools and splash pads are inspected by the Environmental Health Division to ensure the pools are following state rules. Seasonal outdoor pools must pass an inspection before they are allowed to open, and year-round pools must pass yearly inspections to remain open. In addition, all public pool waters are sampled by the operator every quarter to determine chlorine/bromine and bacteria levels. A public pool will be closed if it is not operating in compliance with state and local rules and regulations.

Bathing Beaches
Midland County Environmental Health does not routinely sample water bodies located on public or private property. However, the city and county park beaches are sampled routinely. If you are wondering if the pond or lake on your private property or in your subdivision is safe for swimming, please see "Improved Enumeration Methods for the Recreational Water Quality Indicators: Enterococci and Escherichia coli" .
Public Beach information
If the bacteria levels are unsafe, we will notify the pool or beach operators to take corrective action. The Environmental Health Division will close public beaches and swimming pools if unsafe conditions cannot be corrected immediately.
