Yeah, I'm confused. I'm assuming the NY Health Department will be the ones that certify the pool as usable by the public or not, right?

So this whole dashboard mess is really useless: it's a binary decision. Is the pool safe or not? I mean yeah, if you want a nifty graphic screen showing how messed up the river is then go nuts. But I'd rather not know that the water is "kinda okay" for swimming. Either it's safe or it's not.

what is this dashboard you are referring to?

In most municipalities, all public pools require testing daily. One can assume they're just going to test daily before opening like all the other pools and use that decide whether to open.
