Residential pools in Kapolei are governed by ROH Chapter 16 Article 6, which sets construction, modification, and ongoing safety standards, including anti-entrapment drain covers.
Article 6 covers purpose, fencing, new construction, modifications, limited exceptions, and penalties, and incorporates the Hawaii State Residential Code. Main drains must have dual covers or approved anti-entrapment systems per the Virginia Graeme Baker Act. Diving boards have minimum-depth requirements rarely satisfied by typical Kapolei backyard pools. Pool chemistry and circulation are regulated through plumbing and adopted health standards, and rescue equipment such as life rings is strongly encouraged. Modifications that change capacity or barrier footprint require fresh permits.
Unsafe conditions can result in citations, mandatory closure, and serious civil liability for entrapment or drowning incidents.
