Flowood enforces pool safety through local building codes and health department regulations. Residential pools must maintain proper water chemistry and sanitation. The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act requires compliant drain covers to prevent entrapment. Pool equipment must be properly maintained and electrically grounded. Mississippi State Department of Health (MS Code Ann. §41-26-1) regulates public and semi-public pool water quality and safety. CPR signage and emergency contact information must be posted at public pools. Residential pool owners are encouraged to maintain life-saving equipment. Mississippi's long swim season means year-round pool maintenance is important to prevent mosquito breeding. Unfilled or neglected pools may be declared nuisances and require abatement. Proper winterization is recommended even in Mississippi's mild climate.
Public pool violations: $100 to $500 per health code citation. Pool closure orders for immediate hazards. Nuisance pool: abatement notice with fines for non-compliance.
