Overview
- The Metropolitan Municipality of Lima launched surprise sanitary checks across pools in Cercado de Lima to determine whether they are fit for public use during the summer.
- The Hotel Sheraton and the Señor de la Misericordia school pools passed chemical and infrastructure checks and received the visible “Piscina Saludable” QR seal, according to municipal inspectors.
- At the Parque Central condominium, inspectors found chlorine below the municipal minimum while the pool remains under maintenance, with administrators planning to reopen next week after correcting observations.
- Standards require chlorine between 0.4 and 1.4 parts per million, microbiological samples are taken with results expected in one to two days, and noncompliant venues receive an acta de observación with follow-up.
- Authorities may order temporary closures or sanctions if deficiencies persist, will continue unannounced visits to schools, hotels, and other sites, and advise residents to enter only pools displaying the certification.
