Pools / Spas / Campgrounds

Swimming Pools & Spas

Public swimming pools, spas, and special use pools are regulated under the authority of Chapter 3749 of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) and Chapter 3701-31 of the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC). The public swimming pool rules were created to establish minimum standards, applicable throughout Ohio, for the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of these facilities in order to protect the bathing public from injury, minimize the potential for disease transmission, and provide a safe and healthy aquatic recreational environment. These rules do not pertain to private residential pools.

Campgrounds & Temporary Campgrounds

The Putnam County Health Department is required to license and inspect all campgrounds in the county. Campgrounds are inspected annually. Inspections center around basic safety and sanitation concerns, including proper disposal of solid waste, sewage and wastewater.
