Applications for a permit to construct a swimming pool accompanied
by a) two sets of plans, b) three copies of the proposed grading plan

fencing to be installed. The Building Subcode Official shall not pass
upon the structural features or durability of the pool except, insofar
as may be necessary, to assure safe and sound construction in accordance
with the New Jersey State Uniform Construction Code and for the purpose
of insuring compliance with the terms of this chapter.
Construction of a public pool is subject to all requirements
above and review and approval from the Health Officer.
[Ord. 4/28/60, § V; Ord. No. 08-016G, § 1]
There shall be no physical connection between a potable public
or private water supply system and such pools at a point below the
maximum flow line of the pool or to a recirculating or heating system
of a pool unless the physical connection is so installed and operated
that no pool water can be discharged or siphoned into a potable water
supply system.
[Ord. 4/28/60, § VI; Ord. No. 08-016G, § 1]
All swimming pools hereafter constructed shall be provided with
not over one two- (2) inch diameter galvanized iron pipe or approved
equal drain extending from the pool to a storm sewer, provided however,
that if such drain should be connected to a storm sewer, the permit
for the construction of the pool shall not be issued without the written
approval of the Borough. If such connection to the storm drain is
permitted, it shall be made under the supervision of and in accordance
with specifications approved by the Borough.
In the event that it is not practicable to drain a proposed
swimming pool into a storm sewer as hereinabove provided, facilities
may be constructed so that such pool may be emptied or drained by
spraying the water therefrom upon the lawn of the owner, provided,
however, that if such facilities and method of drainage are to be
employed, no permit for such pool shall be issued until the application
therefor has been approved by the Borough. Such method of drainage
and facilities to be provided therefor are practicable, that the owner's
lawn is capable of absorbing the water at the rate at which it is
proposed to discharge and the same thereon and that such discharge
of water thereon will not adversely affect any abutting property,
public or private. The pool shall be situated that normal surface
water shall drain away from the pool.
[Ord. 4/28/60, § VII; Ord. No. 08-016G, § 1]

& XI; Ord. 3/26/81, § 1; Ord. No. 08-016G, 1]
