  § 66-121. Violations.  

Latest version.

  • (a)

    Violation of any of the provisions of this article may be punished as provided by law. Each day such violation is committed or permitted to continue shall constitute a separate offense and shall be punishable as such thereafter.

    (b)

    It shall be a violation of this article to commence any construction, modification, or re-surfacing of a public swimming pool or any adjacent deck adjacent without obtaining prior written approval to do so from the health department.

    (c)

    Each spa located within a pool/spa combination and the pool having a water capacity of 25,000 gallons or more, or where the pool is within (or is a component part of) transient lodging, shall comply with Subsection 64E-9.010, Florida Administrative Code, as now exists or amended hereafter (or its successor in function) which now reads: "Oxidation reduction potential" (ORP) controllers shall be provided on spa pools to assist in maintaining proper disinfection levels." Such ORP/PH controllers must be installed by or on behalf of the pool owner (at no cost to the county) within one year following the effective date of this article.

    (d)

    Each public pool owner who applies for exempt status for construction must submit (to the health department) performance based plans to prove that the proposed pool will not manifest a direct main drain suction condition. Hand feeding chlorine into a public pool shall not be any substitute for an automated chlorination system. A final inspection will be required to verify compliance with this requirement. A fee of $50.00 shall be charged by the health department for performance plans review and the final inspection.

    (e)

    A civil fine of $500.00 shall be paid for each first violation of any provision of this article. A fine of $1,000.00 shall be paid for a second violation of this article by the same pool facility within any 360 days of the effective date of the first violation. In addition, enforcement of this article may be accomplished by applying section 1-6 of the county's Code of Ordinances.
