Chapter 16 Article 6 governs all Waipahu residential pools through six sections covering purpose, barriers, new construction, modifications, exceptions, and civil penalties for noncompliance.
Chapter 16 Article 6 contains: 16-6.1 purpose focused on child drowning prevention; 16-6.2 barrier specifications; 16-6.3 new construction rules; 16-6.4 modifications that re-trigger current code; 16-6.5 narrow exceptions; and 16-6.6 violations and penalties. Many Waipahu pools date from postwar plantation-town development, so grandfathering can apply until a substantial modification occurs. Any major renovation of the shell, decking, or fence resets compliance obligations to the current ordinance. Enforcement is complaint-driven through DPP, with daily civil penalties for uncorrected violations. Public pool operation and maintenance is covered by Article 7 Section 16-7.5.
Continuing to operate a residential pool after a Section 16-6.6 notice without bringing barriers, signs, or safety equipment into compliance draws daily escalating civil penalties.
