Citrus Heights pools must comply with the California Swimming Pool Safety Act (HSC §115920-115929), including anti-entrapment drain covers meeting the Virginia Graeme Baker Act, at least 2 of 7 approved drowning prevention features, and real estate disclosure at sale.
The California Swimming Pool Safety Act requires all new and remodeled residential pools to include at least two of seven approved drowning prevention safety features under HSC §115922: (1) enclosure isolating pool from home, (2) removable mesh fencing with self-closing/self-latching gate, (3) approved safety cover, (4) exit alarms on home doors leading to pool, (5) self-closing/self-latching devices on all doors leading to pool, (6) swimming pool alarm detecting unauthorized entry into water, or (7) other approved means providing equal protection. Drain covers must comply with the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act to prevent suction entrapment. At time of home sale, a pool safety disclosure is required, and any pool built after 2007 that is being sold or remodeled must be upgraded to meet current standards. Local health and building officials enforce these requirements through building permits and inspections.
Non-compliant pool: citation and required upgrades. Failure to disclose at sale: civil liability to buyer. Drowning incident: significant liability exposure.
