3 rules for unincorporated Western Connecticut, Connecticut.
Verified from official government sources
Connecticut requires residential pools to be enclosed by a barrier at least 4 feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates (CGS §19a-472a and the State Building Code), enforced by each town's building department.
Pool construction must meet the Connecticut State Building Code, covering barriers, electrical bonding/grounding and approach surfaces. A building permit and inspections are required in every member town.
Above-ground pools holding more than 24 inches of water require a building permit and the same 4-foot barrier protection as in-ground pools; ladders must be removable or lockable.
