Beyond the four-foot fence, Williamson County pools must satisfy Tennessee's Katie Beth's Law, which requires a pool alarm on any pool installed after January 1, 2011. Self-latching gates and a filled-pool final inspection complete the safety package.
Williamson County pool safety combines the local fence standard with state law. Tennessee's Katie Beth's Law, Tenn. Code Ann. Section 68-14-804, requires a pool alarm on any swimming pool installed after January 1, 2011 — a device that sounds at least fifty decibels when a person or object of fifteen pounds or more enters the water. The county fence, self-closing and self-latching gates, and secured above-ground ladders form the barrier layer. Pool wiring must have GFCI protection under the adopted electrical code. The owner must request a final inspection once the pool is filled and fencing is in place.
Violating Katie Beth's Law is a Class C misdemeanor: a fine up to $100 for a first offense and up to $500 for repeat offenses. A pool cannot pass final inspection without its required safety features.
