Rialto pools must comply with California's SB 442 drowning-prevention law (H&S Code §115920 et seq.) and the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act for anti-entrapment drain covers. Public and semi-public pools are also regulated by San Bernardino County Environmental Health under Cal. H&S Code §116025 et seq.
Under SB 442, any new pool or spa, or any pool/spa remodel of $1,500 or more, must include at least two of seven approved drowning-prevention safety features: enclosure meeting H&S Code §115923, removable mesh fencing meeting ASTM F2286, ASTM F1346 safety cover, exit alarms on doors with direct pool access, self-closing self-latching doors, alarms meeting ASTM F2208, or other approved means. All suction outlets must use VGB-compliant anti-entrapment covers (15 U.S.C. §8001 et seq.). Public/semi-public pools in apartments, HOAs, and hotels in Rialto are permitted and inspected by San Bernardino County Department of Public Health Environmental Health Services under Cal. H&S Code §116025-116068 and Title 22 CCR Div. 4 Ch. 20.
SB 442 noncompliance prevents final inspection sign-off and certificate of occupancy. Operating an unpermitted public pool is a misdemeanor under Cal. H&S Code §116066. Rialto Community Compliance can issue administrative citations for unsafe conditions per RMC Title 8.
