Yuba City requires the seven-option drowning-prevention features of Cal. Health & Safety Code §115922(a) plus UL2017-listed door alarms (85 dBA at 10 feet) on any door providing direct access to the pool, per YCMC §7-11.03 and the City's Swimming Pool Guidelines. Anti-entrapment drains meeting ANSI/APSP-16 are required on new or modified pools.
HSC §115922(a) lists seven approved safety features and requires at least two on any new or remodeled residential pool: (1) §115923 enclosure, (2) ASTM F2286 removable mesh fence with self-closing/self-latching gate, (3) ASTM F1346 approved safety cover, (4) exit alarms on doors providing direct pool access, (5) self-closing, self-latching device on home doors at least 54 inches above the floor, (6) ASTM F2208 in-pool alarm, or (7) other approved means of equivalent protection. The Yuba City Swimming Pool Guidelines specify that pool alarms installed on doors providing direct access must be UL listed under UL 2017, must sound continuously for at least 30 seconds within 7 seconds of the door opening, and must deliver a minimum 85 dBA measured indoors at 10 feet from the alarm. Per HSC §115928, new and modified pools must have suction outlet covers/grates meeting ANSI/APSP-16 anti-entrapment standards (mirroring the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act, 15 U.S.C. §8003). Public and semi-public pools (HOA, apartment, club) are also subject to Cal. Code of Regulations Title 22 Ch. 20 and CBC Chapter 31B.
Failure to install two HSC 115922(a) features fails final inspection - the pool cannot be filled. A door alarm that does not meet UL 2017 or the 85 dBA / 30-second standard in the Yuba City Swimming Pool Guidelines fails inspection. Disabling features after installation is an infraction under YCMC Title 1 / Cal. Gov. Code §36900(b) ($100 / $200 / $500). A drowning where required safety features were missing can support civil negligence per se under Cal. Evidence Code §669.
