The Illinois Swimming Pool and Bathing Beach Act sets statewide minimum barrier and safety standards for public pools enforced by the Illinois Department of Public Health.
The Illinois Swimming Pool and Bathing Beach Act (210 ILCS 125) and accompanying rules (77 Ill. Adm. Code 820) establish uniform construction, barrier, and operational standards for public swimming pools and bathing beaches. Public pools must have enclosing barriers at least four feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates. Operating permits are issued annually by IDPH or delegated local health departments. Although residential private pools are largely regulated by local building codes, public, semi-public, and apartment-complex pools fall under uniform state oversight. The Illinois Plumbing Code also imposes statewide drainage and backflow requirements.
License revocation; fines up to $1000 per day; closure orders for non-compliant pools.
