Pools and pool equipment shall be operated and maintained in a manner which will not create health or safety hazards or any public nuisance.
The pool shall be so supervised that safety hazards are not created. The gate(s) must be locked when pool is not in use.
Proper germicidal levels shall be maintained at all times during pool usage to protect the health of users. A chlorine residual of 0.3 to 0.6 parts per million shall satisfy this requirement. Other disinfecting agents than chlorine may be used if approved by the enforcing official. The hydrogen ion concentration (pH) of the pool water shall be maintained between 7.2 and 7.6. Testing devices capable of accurately measuring pH and chlorine residual or other disinfectant shall be available.
A rescue pole, hook, or a similar device shall be available within the pool enclosure.
The filling of swimming pools from the public water supply shall be regulated the same as lawn sprinkling.
No swimming pool shall be drained to a sewer during a period of heavy rainfall if such drainage would contribute to an overloading of the sewer.
Any swimming pool which is not maintained to the minimum standard established under this chapter shall be placed out of use by the owner after a notice by the enforcing officials itemizing the corrections needed. Upon failure to correct the item or items cited, the pool may be ordered removed.
Upon discontinuing the use of a pool, the owner thereof shall forthwith remove all water therefrom and shall remove and/or fill the structure or excavation with earth level to grade or otherwise make the premises safe.
