(1) If the license of a swimming pool, spa, or other water feature was suspended and an emergency closure ordered, the department may require an in-person inspection of the facility to verify that the problem has been corrected. Alternatively, depending upon the circumstances and the nature of the violation, the department may choose to accept other forms of documentation to support reopening the pool, including, but not limited to, such things as faxes or scans of water quality test results, test results provided to the department by an independent laboratory, photographs, or video footage.

(2) If the department determines that an in-person inspection is needed to verify that the problem has been corrected, that shall occur within five working days after the department has received written notification from the licensee, license applicant or facility operator that the problem has been resolved. The department may request that a local health department that has entered into a cooperative agreement with the department for inspection of pools have one of its qualified inspectors conduct the in-person inspection.
