Fayetteville enforces pool safety through the 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code: compliant drain covers, GFCI-protected electrical, and secure barriers. Owners carry premises and attractive-nuisance liability under Arkansas law.
Pool safety in Fayetteville is governed by the 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code and the 2020 National Electrical Code. Suction outlets must use anti-entrapment drain covers meeting the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act. Pool equipment requires GFCI protection and proper equipotential bonding. The 48-inch barrier and self-latching gates keep young children out. Under Arkansas premises-liability law, a residential pool can be an attractive nuisance, so owners bear responsibility for keeping the enclosure secure. Poolside rescue equipment and routine water-quality maintenance are recommended.
Safety code violations bring a correction deadline from Building Safety. Non-compliant drain covers require immediate closure until fixed. Owners face attractive-nuisance liability for child injuries.
