The City of Aurora has a new policy regarding backyard kiddie pools. Anything 18 inches or deeper needs a 4 ft. fence. (Does that include all the water retention basins and ponds the city has built to store excess rain?) I guess not.
The code will be enforced by the city’s zoning inspector, who will drive every street in Aurora once a week looking for infractions. (Why not have the residents report on each other, wouldn’t that be cheaper?) “Pool nazi” what’s next?
THE FIRST offense will be a written warning notifying the homeowner of the violation. Less than a week later, if the resident is still in violation another warning will be issued.
On the third violation, the homeowner will be cited, and liable to pay up to a $150 fine per day.
Anyone with questions to call his department at 330-562-9564. And for more information on drownings related to swimming pools, visit CPSC’s Web site at www.cpsc.gov.
I think the code is good!! But to pay the zoning inspector is a waste of money what about the police department they drive around anyway? I don’t believe its a new policy… they are trying to enforce it.
If its the zoning inspector maybe he can serve a dual purpose and look at the run down shacks in my neighborhood! Some should be torn down!!!
Are you telling me I have to put a 48″ fence around my 52″ above ground pool??? That makes a lot of sense!
