REHS <br />RE: Closure of Colonial Heights Swimming Facility, 2016 Paloma Avenue, Stockton <br />The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) has recently become <br />aware that the Colonial Heights swimming facility located at 2016 Paloma Avenue is <br />closed by the operators of the pool (the Colonial Heights Association). Further, the <br />Colonial Heights Association has no intention of re -opening the pool due mainly to a <br />lack of membership fees that have enabled the pool to remain open for many years. <br />The EHD is responsible for conducting health and safety inspections at all public pools <br />in the county. Annual inspections are conducted at in-service as well as out -of -service <br />pools. The Colonial Heights Pool is now classified as an out -of -service pool. In order <br />to verify that basic health and safety is maintained at this facility, the EHD will be <br />required to do an annual inspection of the Colonial Heights Pool. We will inspect for <br />things such as: Algae growth in the water (if water is kept in pool), harboring of <br />mosquitoes in the pool or standing water at the bottom of pool, maintenance of fencing <br />to discourage the public from entering the pool enclosure, and other health hazards that <br />may exist. The fee for an out -of -service pool permit is $110.00/year. <br />The EHD would appreciate payment of this fee in order for us to continue to help <br />safeguard the residents in this area of hazardous conditions or a nuisance occurring as <br />a result of the closed pool. <br />If you have any questions please call me at (209) 468-3438. <br />Jeff Carruesco, REHS Program Coordinator <br />San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department <br />Cc: San Joaquin County Code Enforcement <br />San Joaquin County Mosquito and Vector Control <br />
