New and remodeled residential pools in Lodi must include at least two of seven drowning-prevention safety features from Cal. Health & Safety Code §115922(a) and anti-entrapment suction outlets meeting ANSI/APSP-16, enforced through LMC Title 15 building permit inspections.
HSC §115922(a) lists seven approved safety features: (1) enclosure meeting §115923, (2) removable mesh fence to ASTM F2286 with self-closing self-latching gate, (3) approved safety pool cover to ASTM F1346, (4) exit alarms on doors providing direct pool access, (5) self-closing self-latching device on home doors at least 54 inches above floor, (6) pool alarm meeting ASTM F2208, or (7) other means approved by the local building official as providing equivalent protection. New construction or remodel requires at least two of these. Per HSC §115928, new pools and any modified existing pools must have suction outlet covers/grates meeting ANSI/APSP-16 anti-entrapment standards (the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act parallels this). Lodi adopts these through LMC §15.04.010. Public/semi-public pools (HOA, apartment, club) are also subject to California Code of Regulations Title 22 Chapter 20 and CBC Chapter 31B (DPH Public Pools).
Failure to install at least two HSC 115922(a) features will fail final inspection and prevent certificate of occupancy. Disabling features after installation is an LMC 1.08.010 infraction ($100/$200/$500). A drowning at a pool that lacked required safety features can support civil negligence per se under California Evidence Code 669 and may be referred for misdemeanor prosecution if reckless.
