§ 34-596. Special purpose pools.

(a)

Application. All elements of this article for swimming pools shall apply to special purpose pools with the following additional provisions:

(b)

Construction. The design and construction of these special purpose pools shall be based on their intended purpose and use and upon sound public health and engineering principles, and shall not pose a health or safety hazard to the users. Special purpose pools shall be reviewed by the board of health on an individual basis for intended use and construction. Therefore, unique or special features may be permitted, such as a ramp to allow bathers access and egress from the pool in lieu of steps or a ladder. The bathing load may be limited and shall be determined by the board of health, based on the purpose or intended use of the pool. The purpose of the pool shall be clearly stated on the plans when submitted to the board of health. A sign, with minimum one inch high, black letters on a white background, stating the purpose of the pool and the bathing load, shall be conspicuously posted at the entrance to the pool area.

(c)

Operation. Special purpose pools are prohibited for general recreational use, without prior written approval from the board of health.
