Kapolei pool owners must maintain a compliant barrier under ROH Section 16-6.2 with self-closing, self-latching gates to prevent unsupervised child entry into the pool area.
Section 16-6.2 requires fences, walls, or equivalent enclosures around residential pools of regulated depth. Barriers must meet minimum heights under the adopted state residential code, lack climbable features, and have openings too small to pass a four-inch sphere. Gates must swing outward, self-close, and self-latch. Kapolei's common six-foot CMU property walls can serve as part of the barrier if gate hardware is upgraded. Pool safety covers compliant with ASTM F1346 may substitute in specific scenarios. Where the house wall forms part of the barrier, door alarms are generally required.
Operating a pool without a compliant barrier is a civil violation with daily fines and can require draining until corrected.
