SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake County Health Department announced Monday that a fourth of public swimming pools in the county will be closed because they do not meet Utah's new interlock safety requirements.
The other 486 pools are compliant with the state's requirement of a chemical feed system that is electronically "interlocked" with its water circulation system. The health department said they have been providing all affected pools with multiple written, phone and in-person reminders about the state's new requirement and compliance deadline. These reminders included an email in October 2021 and May 2022, "a verbal, in-person reminder during every pool's annual inspection in 2022," a letter mailed in November 2022 and a phone call in January 2023 to pools not yet compliant.
