Waipahu residential pools must be enclosed under ROH Sec. 16-6.2, with companion public-pool standards at 16-7.9 covering apartment complexes and condominium associations across the CDP.
ROH Chapter 16, Article 6 at Sec. 16-6.2 sets residential pool barrier requirements: fences at least 4 feet tall, self-closing and self-latching gates, and spacing that will not pass a 4-inch sphere. Enforcement is strict in Waipahu given the dense working-class multi-generational households with small children. Public and semi-public pools at apartment complexes along Waipahu Street and the condo towers near Waipahu Town follow companion rules at Sec. 16-7.9. Barriers are inspected at permit final and in response to code-enforcement complaints. Rental properties are held to the same standard; landlords bear primary responsibility though tenants can be cited for removing latches or gates.
Non-compliant pool barriers can trigger DPP orders to drain the pool, daily civil fines until corrected, and potential civil liability after any child-access incident.
