Naperville requires barriers around all swimming pools per the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code. Above-ground pools over 24 inches deep need barriers. Hot tubs that cannot meet barrier requirements must have a locking safety cover.
Naperville requires all outdoor swimming pools, including in-ground, above-ground, and on-ground pools, hot tubs, and spas containing more than 24 inches of water to be surrounded by a barrier complying with the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code as adopted by the city. Above-ground pools between 24 and 48 inches deep require barriers including fencing, gates, and hardware. Above-ground pools over 48 inches deep may use a removable or retractable ladder as an alternative to full barriers. Existing fences may not meet pool barrier requirements and must be evaluated. Hot tubs and spas that cannot meet barrier requirements must have a safety cover that locks. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching. Kiddie pools up to 24 inches deep are exempt.
Pool without required barrier: immediate violation requiring correction before use. Failure to maintain barriers: property maintenance and safety code violation with fines.
