A code regulating the construction, use, operation and maintenance
of swimming pools, other than natural or artificially constructed
outdoor ponds, rivers or lakes, and also other than swimming or wading
pools established or maintained upon premises by any individual for
his own or his family's use or the guests of his household, is
hereby adopted and established pursuant to N.J.S.A. 26:3-69.1 et seq.
A copy of said code is hereto annexed and hereof made a part without
the inclusion of the text thereof herein.
The said code established and adopted by this chapter is described
and commonly known as the" Swimming Pool Code of New Jersey, 1970."
Three copies of the said code have been placed and shall continue
to be on file in the office of the Secretary of the Delran Township
Board of Health.
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to
construct, use, operate or maintain any swimming pool, as the same
is defined in the said code, other than in conformance with the provisions
of the said code and with this chapter. Each day upon which such person,
firm or corporation shall do any act which is herein prohibited or
omit to do any act which is herein required shall constitute a new
violation.
No provision of this chapter shall be applied so as to impose
any unlawful burden on either interstate commerce or any activity
of the state or federal government.
The provisions of this chapter are declared to be severable,
and if any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase thereof
shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid or unconstitutional,
such decisions shall not affect the validity of the remaining sections,
subsections, sentences, clauses and phrases hereof but they shall
remain in effect; it being the legislative intent that this chapter
shall stand, notwithstanding the invalidity of any part.
All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict or inconsistent
with this chapter are repealed.
Jurisdiction to hear complaints of a violation of this chapter
and to impose penalties hereafter prescribed shall be vested in the
Municipal Court of the Township of Delran.
Upon notice to him that any person, firm or corporation shall
have violated the provisions of this chapter, or of the code hereby
adopted, the Health Officer may, by complaint filed in the Delran
Township Municipal Court, institute proceedings in the name of the
Board of Health and the Township of Delran for the enforcement hereof
and the imposition of penalties hereinafter prescribed.
Any person, firm or corporation having been found guilty of
a violation of the provisions of this chapter upon complaint made
pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing section shall, for each
violation, be penalized not less than $2 and not more than $100 per
day per violation, which penalty shall be paid to the Court and delivered
to the Treasurer of the Township of Delran.
Unless stated otherwise herein, this chapter shall become effective
upon its adoption and publication as provided as law.
