When a permit is issued for a new or remodeled pool/spa at a single-family home, Jurupa Valley requires at least two of the seven state drowning-prevention features, with the primary barrier plus one secondary feature documented on the plans.
Effective January 1, 2018, California Health & Safety Code section 115922 requires that when a building permit is issued for the construction of a new swimming pool or spa, or the remodeling of an existing pool or spa, at a private single-family home, the pool or spa be equipped with at least two of seven drowning-prevention safety features. The seven features are: (1) an isolation enclosure meeting H&S 115923; (2) removable mesh fencing meeting ASTM F2286 with a self-closing/self-latching, key-lockable gate; (3) an approved safety pool cover; (4) exit alarms on the home's doors with direct pool access; (5) a self-closing, self-latching device with a release mechanism no lower than 54 inches on the home's doors; (6) an in-pool alarm certified to ASTM F2208; or (7) other independently verified means of equal or greater protection. The City of Jurupa Valley Building Department implements this through JVMC Chapter 6.30: the city requires a complying primary barrier (which may use the dwelling wall with protected door openings) plus one secondary barrier - removable mesh fencing (ASTM F2286), an approved safety cover, an in-pool alarm (ASTM F2208), or other means approved by the Building Official. The two chosen features must be clearly stated on the plans with documentation and spec sheets, and the building official inspects the features before final approval.
If the two required drowning-prevention features are not provided and documented, the pool cannot pass the building official's final inspection and the permit will not receive final approval (Cal. H&S Code 115922(b)).
