Richmond enforces pool and spa safety provisions adopted through the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, covering drains, alarms, signage, and entrapment prevention.
Through Chapter 103, Richmond requires all residential pools and spas to comply with ISPSC safety provisions including anti-entrapment drain covers, suction outlet covers meeting ANSI/APSP-16 standards, GFCI-protected electrical systems, and approved barrier hardware. New construction must pass safety-focused inspections before final certificate of occupancy or pool use approval.
Non-compliant safety equipment can lead to red-tagged pools, prohibition of use, and code enforcement penalties until repairs and re-inspection are complete.
