Santa Rosa follows California Health and Safety Code requirements for residential pools. Pools must have anti-entrapment drain covers, and at least two of seven approved safety features are required for new construction.
Under the California Swimming Pool Safety Act adopted by Santa Rosa, all residential pools must have compliant anti-entrapment drain covers (Virginia Graeme Baker Act). New residential pools require at least two of seven specified safety features: fencing, cover, door alarms, self-closing doors, pool alarm, mesh fencing, or isolation fencing. Existing pools must have at least one safety feature. Pool owners are responsible for ensuring chemical levels and equipment meet health standards.
Non-compliant pools may be red-tagged and prohibited from use until safety features are installed.
