All residential pools and spas in Port Hueneme must be enclosed by barriers meeting California Building Code §3109 standards. The barrier must be at least 60 inches tall with self-closing, self-latching gates.
CBC §3109 and CA Health & Safety Code §115920-115929 mandate pool barriers for all residential swimming pools and spas capable of holding water 18 inches or deeper. Barriers must be at least 60 inches tall, with no openings that pass a 4-inch sphere. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching with latches at least 54 inches above grade or equipped with key locks. The barrier must completely surround the pool with no gaps. Doors from the house providing direct pool access must have alarms or self-closing/self-latching hardware. AB 2977 requires at least one additional safety feature.
Non-compliant pool fencing is a serious safety violation. Building permits will not receive final approval without compliant barriers. Existing pools found deficient may receive immediate correction orders. Property owners face significant liability in drowning incidents involving non-compliant barriers.
