Plumbing New facility on well water. Water stains due to hard water. Plumbing recommendations include: › Option for water softener to prevent water stains. › It is recommended to have single occupancy restrooms/changing facilities in place. Mechanical The pool equipment room is served by an inline fan for ventilation and electric heater to prevent pipes freezing. The restrooms are heated and ventilated. Other areas are heated, cooled and ventilated by spit systems heat pumps. Air conditioning and ventilation systems are in good condition. No recommendations for mechanical repair at this time. reviewed. The National Electrical Code, NEC, requires any metallic components of a pool installation within three feet of the inside of the pool wall to be bonded together. The bond is usually achieved through the tie wires connecting the reinforcing steel and copper wires bonding from the pool accessory cups back to the reinforcing steel. A #8 bare copper wire ring is also installed around the pool and connected to the reinforcing steel at four points or more. The resistance in ohms of 1,000 feet of #8 copper is 0.6 ohms. The resistance of a bonding lug connection is between 0.01 and 0.03 ohms. So, the expected resistance between one accessory “cup” and another would be around 1 to 5 ohms. If the measurement is larger than that, then it can be expected that corrosion has taken place. The facility electrical service is located near the pump room. The electrical service panelboard is a 120/208V, 500A panel with a main circuit breaker (Figure E4) . The main panel and branch panels are in new condition (Figure E5). The bonding conductors appear to be in good condition (Figure E6) . The electrical items inside the Pool House are in new condition. No electrical recommendations for remediations at this time. Electrical The grounding test results of April 2021 were

and 0.03 ohms. So, the expected resistance between one accessory “cup” and another would be around 1 to 5 ohms. If the measurement is larger than that, then it can be expected that corrosion has taken place. The facility electrical service is located near the pump room. The electrical service panelboard is a 120/208V, 400A panel with a main circuit breaker (Figure E1) . The main panel and branch panels are in new condition (Figure E2). The bonding conductor appears to be in good condition, but the bonding lug does not appear to be a UL listed lug (Figure E3) . Electrical recommendations include:

› Replace the pool pump bonding lug.

KEELEY PARK

Exterior of the building at Keeley Park

Exterior The building exterior is comprised of fiber cement siding, split face CMU, standing seam metal roof, and aluminum gutters and downspouts. The building exterior is in very good condition. No recommendations for exterior repair at this time. Interior The interior functions include male and female restrooms, check-in desk, storage, concessions, and support spaces. The building interior is in very good condition. Interior recommendations include: › In the concessions room, a small area of tile base was observed to be loose and should be reattached to the wall.
