[Amended 8-26-1991 by Ord. No. 1451]
All private swimming pools or wading pools with a water depth of more than one foot, hereafter constructed, installed, established or maintained within the Borough of Ridgefield, shall be provided with one drainage outlet not in excess of three inches in diameter extending from said pool to either a storm sewer or lawn sprinkling system on the premises on which said private pool or wading pool is located. The discharge of water from such private swimming pools or wading pools into a storm sewer shall be permitted only following approval by the proper state, county and Borough officials, as each case requires. No private pool drain or wading pool drain shall be connected into the sanitary sewer system except upon written approval of the Health Officer and Plumbing Inspector and Director of Public Works. Application for approval shall be in writing. The Building Inspector or such employees as shall be designated by the Borough Council shall inspect the premises on which such pool is planned to be constructed, installed, established or maintained, in order to determine the proper place and type of connection with the sanitary sewerage system, if such 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 a storm sewer or use such water for purposes of lawn sprinkling on said premises. Approval shall not be given to discharge such water at the curb or upon the surface of any street.
