Simi Valley swimming pool owners must maintain pools in a safe and sanitary condition, including proper chemical treatment, functioning equipment, and anti-entrapment drain covers. Unmaintained pools creating mosquito breeding conditions are subject to abatement.
Pool owners in Simi Valley must maintain water clarity and chemical balance sufficient to see the pool bottom at all times. Anti-entrapment drain covers compliant with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act are required on all public and residential pools. Pool equipment must be maintained in working order. Pools that are not properly maintained and allow standing stagnant water become mosquito breeding grounds, triggering public health enforcement by the Ventura County Environmental Health Division. Abandoned or neglected pools must be drained, covered, or maintained with chemicals to prevent vector breeding. Pool draining requires proper discharge to the sanitary sewer, not storm drains.
Unmaintained pools creating vector breeding conditions are a public health violation. The county health department may issue abatement orders requiring treatment or draining within 48 hours. Fines for maintaining a public health nuisance start at $250. Failure to install compliant drain covers may result in citations during inspections.
