lijte:41/,,,, MEMORANDUM Memo To :Don Pauley, Clerk-Administrator From :Ric Minetor, City Engineer/Director of Public Works Date :June 29, 1990 Subject :Code Review and Update - Chapters 58 thru 63 I have reviewed these chapters with Jim Tobias and find only minimal changes are necessary. These are listed below: Chapter 58 The definition of swimming pool states " . . .more than 150 square feet in area and/or over 24 inches in depth. . ." . This could be construed to include a rain barrel, a stormwater detention pond, or the small department store pools which have a semi ridgid side wall . Although a dtention pond or rain barrel are somewhat facetious, the department store type pool is prevalent throughout the City and are of a portable nature. Usually these are removed after use. Jim and I feel the problem can be addressed by 411 changing the definition to read " . . .more than 150 square feet in area and over 24 inches in depth, constructed as a permanent facility of any type material and located either above or below ground or partly above and partly below ground. " Section 58 . 08 ( 3 ) should read "Pool water drained into any municipal sanitary sewer shall be metered through a City approved metering device capable of recording actual volume in gallons and accurate to plus/minus 5 percent. Draining of pool water into any other municipal facility shall require a permit from the Director of Public Works. " A section 58.08 (4) should be added to read as follows: "Filling of any swimming pool with water obtained from the municipal water system shall be through either a metered faucet or through a metered hydrant adapter provided and operated by the City. The hydrant meter will record the volume used and the homeowner will be charged $25 plus the quantity of water at the current rates.
