[Ord. 3/6/66, § 1804]
As used in this chapter:
Shall mean a pool composed entirely of artificial construction.
Shall mean a pool formed from a natural body of water which
has either so limited a flow or such an inadequate natural circulation
that the quality of water must be maintained by artificial means.
Shall mean any pool designed, used and maintained for swimming
purposes by an individual for use by his household and guests and
located on a lot as an accessory use to a residence. Unless otherwise
qualified, the term "private swimming pool" shall be construed as
including both artificial and partly artificial pools.
Shall mean any artificially constructed pool, not designed
or used for swimming, with a maximum area of 120 square feet and a
maximum water depth of 24 inches.
[Ord. 3/6/66, § 1805]
There shall be no physical connection between a potable public
or private water supply system and the private swimming pool at a
point below the maximum waterline, of the pool or to a recirculating
or heating system of the pool.
[Ord. 3/6/66, § 1806]
All private swimming pools hereafter constructed within the
borough shall be provided with one drainage outlet not in excess of
three inches in diameter extending from the pool to either a brook,
storm sewer, or lawn-sprinkling system in the premises on which the
private pool is located. The discharge of water from the private swimming
pool into a brook or storm sewer shall be permitted only following
approval by the proper state, county and borough officials, as each
case requires. No private pool drain shall be connected into the county's
sanitary sewer system except upon written approval of the mayor and
council. Application for approval shall be in writing. The board of
health or his designated employee, shall inspect the premises on which
the pool is planned to be constructed in order to determine the proper
place and type of connection with the sanitary sewerage system, if
the connection is authorized by the borough. Approval of an application
shall not be given if it is feasible to discharge water from a pool
into an accessible brook, storm sewer or use such water for purposes
of lawn-sprinkling on the premises. Approval shall not be given to
discharge water at the curb or upon the surface of any street.
[Ord. 3/6/66, § 1807]
Where approval is obtained to discharge water from a private
swimming pool into the sanitary sewage system, the owner of the pool
shall be responsible to pay an annual sewer charge to the borough
in the sum of $50 which sum shall be noted on the taxbill covering
the property in question.
The purpose of the sum is to reimburse the borough for its cost in disposing of the water in question. The annual sewer charges shall be paid to the borough upon obtaining approval as required in section BH15-4 of this chapter and shall be paid every year thereafter.
[Ord. 3/6/66, § 1808]
Every private swimming pool or wading pool constructed, or to
be constructed in the borough shall at all times comply with the requirements
of the local board of health. Any nuisance or hazard to health which
may exist or develop in or in consequence of or in connection with
any swimming pool, shall be abated and removed by the owner, lessee
or occupant of the premises on which the pool is located within 10
days of receipt of notice from the building department, borough engineer
or board of health of the borough.
