Pool safety in Madison County rests on three rules: self-latching gates under the 2018 ISPSC Section 305.3, anti-entrapment drain covers under the federal VGB Act, and bonding of metal within five feet of the water under the adopted 2017 NEC.
The 2018 ISPSC that Madison County enforces requires pedestrian gates in a pool barrier to open outward, be self-closing, and carry a self-latching device. Every suction outlet must be fitted with an anti-entrapment cover, the standard the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act sets nationwide. Under the adopted 2017 National Electrical Code, the county reviews the bonding grid, and every metallic item within five feet of the water's edge must be bonded to the grounding system and shown on the submitted site plan.
A gate that fails to self-latch, a missing anti-entrapment drain cover, or unbonded metal near the water are cited defects that stop the pool from passing its final inspection.
