Kailua residential pools must comply with ROH Chapter 16, Article 6 safety standards covering construction, modification, barriers, and enforcement penalties.
ROH Chapter 16, Article 6 sets the overall residential swimming pool safety framework for Kailua. Section 16-6.1 states purpose, 16-6.2 mandates fencing and protective devices, 16-6.3 governs new construction, 16-6.4 covers modifications, 16-6.5 lists exceptions, and 16-6.6 imposes violations and penalties. Owners must also comply with the Hawaii State Residential Code adopted by ROH 16-1.2. These rules apply uniformly across Oahu, including coastal neighborhoods like Lanikai, Enchanted Lake, and Maunawili in Kailua. Public pools, such as those at community centers, follow Article 7 rather than Article 6.
Violations of Article 6 can result in fines, mandatory retrofit of barriers or equipment, and orders preventing pool use until the safety defect is corrected.
