This chapter shall be known as "An ordinance providing safeguards
for swimming pools in the Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson."

[Amended 11-28-1983 by L.L. No. 4-1983]
SWIMMING POOL
A structure not fully within a building intended for bathing
or swimming purposes made of any impervious material which has a water
depth in any area of more than 24 inches.
There shall be no physical connection between a potable, public
or private water supply system and a swimming pool at a point below
the maximum flow line of the pool or to a recirculating or heating
system of a swimming pool unless such physical connection is so installed
and operated that no water can be discharged or siphoned into a potable
water supply system.
In the event that any person, association or corporation believes
that any or all of the provisions of this chapter should not be applied
to its swimming pool because of special circumstances which would
make the provisions of this chapter inapplicable to any pool and still
not violate the spirit and intent of the chapter, said person, association
or a corporation may apply to the Village Board, in writing, for a
waiver of any or all of the provisions of this chapter. If the Village
Board determines that a case of special circumstances exists and in
the further event that it determines that the spirit and intent of
this chapter, with particular reference to the protection of children,
can be maintained, the Village Board may waive any and all provisions
of this chapter and may attach to said waiver such conditions, including
but not limited to a time limitation for the waiver and the necessity
for future reapplications, as the Village Board may deem proper under
the circumstances.
The installation of any swimming pool within the Village of
Cornwall-on-Hudson shall comply with the provisions of the Zoning
Ordinance of the Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson and, where applicable,
to the provisions of the State Sanitary Code.
[Amended 11-28-1983 by L.L. No. 4-1983]
Any person, association or corporation who himself, or by his
agents or employees, shall violate any of the provisions of this chapter
shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a violation of the Penal Law
and shall be punishable by fine not exceeding $250. In addition to
the above-provided penalty, the Village Board may also maintain an
action or proceeding in the name of the Village in a court of competent
jurisdiction to compel compliance with or to restrain by injunction
the violation of the terms of this chapter.
