Washington RCW 70.90 and WAC 246-260 establish statewide operational safety rules for public pools including water quality, signage, lifeguard or warning sign requirements, and anti-entrapment drain compliance under federal VGB Act.
WAC 246-260-141 sets water chemistry requirements including disinfectant residuals, pH 7.2-7.8, and daily testing. WAC 246-260-101 requires VGB-compliant anti-entrapment drain covers on all public pools to prevent suction injuries. Pools without lifeguards must post signs warning that no lifeguard is on duty and prohibiting unaccompanied minors. RCW 70.90.110 requires permits from local health jurisdictions before operating, and WAC 246-260-191 mandates incident reporting for drownings, near-drownings, and disease outbreaks.
Operating outside chemistry parameters, missing anti-entrapment covers, or absent safety signage triggers immediate closure under RCW 70.90.130 with daily civil penalties until compliance is verified.
