Swimming Pools
The Van Wert County General Health District is required to license and inspect all public Pools, Spas (whirlpools) and Special Use Pools in the county. State law requires that these facilities be inspected at least once annually. Pool Inspections focus on water quality, safety requirements and maintenance of the recirculation and disinfection system to help ensure the health and safety of pool and spa patrons.
