The responsibility of preventing a Crypto outbreak does not belong to one agency.  It doesn't belong just to pool operators and owners.  It doesn't just belong to health professionals and providers.  It belongs to everyone in the state, including parents and their families.  In essence, it is the responsibility of everyone! To help facilitate this effort, new regulations have been put in place to keep Crypto out of the pools.

Experts say that effective crypto prevention requires a new strategy. “Think of healthy swimming as a three-legged-stool, with one leg being public health agencies, one being aquatics operators, and the last being the pool-visiting public,”says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. “If any one of the three legs fail, then healthy swimming won’t hold up.”

If you use the pool or any water park facility in Tooele County, please take the responsibility for yourself and your family to do your part to keep the pool free of Crypto.  Carefully read the pages in this section of our website.  If you have any questions you may call a health sanitation expert at the health department, or email the Web Master.

Please let the pool manager know about anything you see in the pool which shouldn't be there.
