Action:
Amend regs for tourist establishment swimming pools/other public pools as a result of periodic revie
Action 3424
 
General Information
Action Summary The State Board of Health (the “board”) adopted the Regulations Governing Tourist Establishment Swimming Pools and Other Public Pools in 1962, and the board has not amended them since. The board intends to revise the regulations to bring them up to date with technology and accepted swimming pool design. Several of the sections of the regulations are likely in conflict with the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code (Code of Virginia § 36-97 et seq.) and, as such, the board intends to delete them. The board seeks to thoroughly amend and eliminate unnecessary provisions of the regulations; in doing so, the board will seek participation from the swimming pool industry and the Department of Housing and Community Development.
