Note:  Barriers are required for both above and in-ground pools. Examples of these barriers include a five foot high fence on three sides of the pool along with either a motorized safety pool cover, a ground level door that is self closing and self latching or a four foot barrier between the pool and living quarters. Another way to meet the pool safety barrier requirements is by having five foot high fences on all sides of the pool. While there are specific restrictions placed on each of these examples, it is important to know that each pool must be protected by some type of barrier. Take advantage of the free On-Site Review and Guidance Barrier program by calling the Town to schedule an appointment.
