RESIDENTIAL POOLS VS. PUBLIC POOLS <br />6 <br />considered “high risk.” They are inspected annually at minimum by environmental health <br />specialists to ensure they are being operated and maintained in a safe and sanitary manner. <br />Local building and zoning requirements may also apply during the permitting and construction <br />of swimming pools, whether they are residential or public pools. <br />Additional information can be found on the MDH website: Public Swimming Pools <br />(https:/www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/recreation/pools/index.html). <br />For those who have received enforcement letters, what should they do? <br />To avoid enforcement actions, pool owners must discontinue renting their pool to others until <br />they meet all the construction requirements of a public pool and become licensed. We <br />recommend that those interested in renting out their pool contact MDH to ensure that they <br />follow the pool construction and licensing requirements prior to advertising it. <br />Minnesota Department of Health <br />Food, Pools and Lodging Services Section <br />625 Robert Street North <br />PO Box 64975 <br />St. Paul, MN 55164-0975 <br />651-201-4500 <br />health.foodlodging@state.mn.us <br />health.swimmingpools@state.mn.us <br />www.health.state.mn.us <br />08/25/21 <br />To obtain this information in a different format, call: 651-201-4500
