Temporary fence or warning ribbon must surround any in-ground pool, spa, or contained body of water during construction. Pools may not be filled until the permanent enclosure is in place and approved by the Building Inspector.
Beyond the permanent barrier rules, Lake Havasu City requires a temporary construction-period safety perimeter to prevent child drownings on active job sites. The temporary fence or warning ribbon must be installed around all in-ground pools, spas, and contained bodies of water during construction. The Building Inspector must approve the permanent enclosure before water is added — operators who fill a pool prior to inspection lose the right to add water until corrections are made and re-inspected, and may face Building Code civil penalties.
Building Code stop-work and civil citation; pool must be drained until barrier complies.
