Use this guide to establish consistent procedures for responding to fecal contamination incidents at the aquatic facility. It outlines the steps staff should take to close the affected aquatic venue, assess the contamination, notify appropriate personnel, and implement the required response based on whether the incident involves formed stool or diarrheal contamination. Document the incident, pool closure, water chemistry measurements, disinfection procedures, required contact time, and authorization to reopen the facility. All response actions should follow applicable health department requirements, established facility protocols, and current public health guidance. Proper implementation and documentation help reduce the risk of disease transmission and protect the health and safety of swimmers and staff.
