Stafford imposes safety standards for residential pools covering drain covers, electrical bonding, lighting, and equipment maintenance under Article XIV.
The Stafford swimming pool ordinance requires anti-entrapment drain covers compliant with applicable federal standards, properly bonded and grounded electrical systems, and GFCI protection for pool lighting and outlets. Equipment such as pumps and heaters must be installed per manufacturer specifications. Pools must be maintained in a sanitary condition with functioning circulation and filtration; stagnant water that breeds mosquitoes is treated as a nuisance subject to abatement.
Unsafe pool conditions can result in citations, mandatory abatement, and orders to drain or repair the pool until compliance is achieved.
