§ 8-20.1. Maintenance of swimming pools on private property.

The owners of swimming pools within the city shall maintain said pools as follows:

(1)

All swimming pools under construction (after building permit has been issued and prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy) or otherwise, shall be maintained so that stagnant water does not accumulate therein.

(2)

All swimming pools, upon issuance of a certificate of occupancy, shall be maintained to ensure the disinfection of all pool water pursuant to applicable health standards under state law and county ordinance. If disinfection is not maintained, then the owner of the real property upon which said pool is located shall be notified by United States mail, return receipt requested, by the city's building official to either:

a.

Disinfect the swimming pool water pursuant to applicable health standards under state laws and county ordinances or drain the swimming pool.

b.

Drain and maintain the swimming pool, so that stagnant water does not accumulate.

Failure of the owner to either disinfect or drain the swimming pool within five (5) calendar days from the date notification was posted by the city in United States mail will constitute a separate violation of this section.

(3)

Whenever the city acts to correct any violation of this section, the city shall charge an administrative fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) in addition to the total costs of remedying the condition.
