Residential pools throughout Pearl City are regulated by Chapter 16 Article 6, which sets purpose, barriers, construction, modification, exceptions, and penalties for pool owners.
Chapter 16 Article 6 combines six sections for residential pools: 16-6.1 states the child-safety purpose; 16-6.2 specifies barriers; 16-6.3 regulates new construction; 16-6.4 handles modifications that re-trigger current code; 16-6.5 lists narrow exceptions; 16-6.6 sets violations and penalties. Pearl City's dense postwar subdivisions mean many pools predate the article, but any substantial modification returns compliance obligations. Enforcement is complaint-driven through DPP, and daily civil penalties accrue for continuing violations. Public pools are handled separately in Article 7, including Section 16-7.5 on operation and maintenance.
Continuing to operate a pool after a notice of violation without bringing barriers, alarms, or signage into compliance exposes owners to daily civil penalties under Section 16-6.6.
