Immediate Closures and Violations Identified During Routine Inspections of Public Aquatic Facilities — Network for Aquatic Facility Inspection Surveillance, Five States, 2013 Michele C. Hlavsa, MPH; Taryn R. Gerth, MPH; Sarah A. Collier, MPH; et al. MMWR Surveill Summ 2016;65:1–22 This report presents inspection data on aquatic facility–associated waterborne disease outbreaks in the United States for 2013 that were reported by 16 public health agencies in five states (Arizona, California, Florida, New York, and Texas). The analysis focuses on 15 elements deemed critical to minimizing the risk for illness and injury associated with aquatic facilities. Although these data (the first and most recent that are available) are not nationally representative, 15.7% of the estimated 309,000 U.S. public aquatic venues are located in the 16 reporting jurisdictions. The findings provided in this report underscore the public health function that code enforcement, conducted by environmental health practitioners, has in preventing illness and injury at public aquatic facilities.
