Kaneohe pools must follow ROH Chapter 16, Article 6 safety standards covering construction, barriers, modifications, and enforcement penalties under ROH 16-6.6.
ROH Chapter 16, Article 6 is the core residential pool safety framework applied in Kaneohe. It sets purpose (16-6.1), barriers (16-6.2), new construction (16-6.3), modifications (16-6.4), exceptions (16-6.5), and enforcement (16-6.6). Pools must also comply with the Hawaii State Residential Code adopted by ROH Sec. 16-1.2. These rules apply to all residential neighborhoods in Kaneohe, from Kaneohe town to Haiku Valley and the bay-side subdivisions. Public pools, like those at community facilities and schools, fall under Article 7 instead, which has separate operation and maintenance standards under ROH 16-7.5.
Violations under ROH 16-6.6 may produce fines, retrofits, and pool closure orders, with potential civil liability for unsafe conditions.
