Jurupa Valley, CA Swimming Pools & Spas: Safety Rules (2026)

Under H&S §115922 (as amended by SB 442, Stats. 2017 Ch. 524, and updated in 2024 by SB 552), a residential pool/spa permitted on or after January 1, 2018 must be equipped with at least two of the following seven drowning-prevention features: (1) a perimeter enclosure meeting §115923; (2) removable mesh fencing meeting ASTM F2286 with a self-closing, self-latching, key-lockable gate; (3) an approved safety pool cover meeting ASTM F1346-23; (4) exit alarms on doors and windows providing direct access to the pool that emit a continuous audible alarm or repeating verbal warning; (5) a self-closing, self-latching device on those doors with a release placed no lower than 54 inches above the floor; (6) an in-water immersion alarm in good repair; or (7) other UL-tested equivalent protective means. The §115928 anti-entrapment requirement (ANSI/APSP-16 drain covers and dual outlets) is mandatory and separate — it does not count toward the two-feature rule. Final inspection is withheld until features are installed. Public pools (HOA, hotel, club) are regulated separately under H&S §116025 et seq. and CCR Title 22 §65501 et seq. and require Riverside County Department of Environmental Health permits and routine inspection.
