Villages pool closures: updates and next steps

Concerns have circulated regarding recent pool closures this past week. The Villages Golf & Country Club management is addressing these issues and working to resolve them quickly.

Foothill Spa was temporarily closed Feb. 17 after county inspectors found chemical levels outside the acceptable range. The issue was resolved quickly, and reopening occurred in less than 24 hours. Foothill Pool and Spa remain open during regular hours (5 a.m. to 10 p.m.) and Foothill Pool remains open for adults only.

Vineyard Pool and Spa are closed due to a fence height requirement mandated by the Santa Clara County Environmental Health Department. The Villages is developing engineering plans to bring the enclosure into compliance. Once the plans are approved by the County, the pool can reopen while modifications are made.

Montgomery Pool experienced a similar enclosure issue in late October. The Villages is following the same process to ensure compliance, working closely with county officials to meet all safety requirements ahead of reopening.

Pools and spas at Montgomery and Cribari are regularly closed for the season from Nov. 1 to March 30, and both are slated to reopen as usual April 1.

Management continues to focus on resident safety and regulatory compliance. Updates on pool status and reopening timelines will be provided as more information becomes available.
