The first body of water that was observed was a fountain that was measured to be 1 foot deep. The fountain was observed in the backyard. The second body of water that was observed during today's visit was a in-ground pool that is located on the left side of the backyard (if you are facing home from the front) ; and leads to the front of the house/driveway area. The fountain was observed to have a body of water, and is surrounded by a wooden fence that was measured at 2 feet and 9 inches. The front of the in-ground pool is fenced off by a roth iron gate that was measured to be 4 feet and 9 inches. Please note that the roth iron fence is self closing and self latching. Other than the roth iron fence, the pool is surrounded by a brick wall that measures to be 5 feet and 8 inches. If you are facing the pool from the roth iron fence's entrance, the left side of the pool area is protected by a brick wall. The brick wall obscures the pool from view, if you were on the outside of it. The area on the other side of this brick wall is the home's driveway. In regards to pools, Title 22 regulation 102417 (5) (A) states that fences shall be at least five feet high and shall be constructed so that the fence does not obscure the pool from view. The bottom and sides of the fence shall comply with Division 1, Appendix Chapter 4 of the 1994 Uniform Building Code. Assembly Bill 2866 states that Applicant was informed that all bodies of water including ponds, above ground pools and spas, in-ground pools and spas, and some fountains must be properly covered or fenced per title 22 regulations. The Department must be notified before and after installation of the above types of bodies of water. In addition, all wading pools or similar product must be emptied immediately after use and stored in an upright position when not in use. Applicant was also informed that the pool regulation requirements also include a life ring with a minimum exterior diameter of 17 inches (and labeled as approved by the United Sates Coast Guard) and a rescue pole with a body hook and minimum fixed length of 12 feet. Under HSC section 1596.814, these facilities must also perform a daily inspection of their drowning prevention safety features and safety equipment before opening the facility, and they must maintain a log of the inspections to be provided to the department upon request. Applicant was also informed that if the home's fence does not meet regulation requirements, she may have a pool cover instead. The pool cover must meet the performance standards of ASTM International Standard F1346-23. Licensee must maintain and make available for the Department\342\200\231s inspection, documentation verifying that the pool cover meets this standard. Applicant was also informed that with the pool cover, she must also have a pool alarm that will sound upon detecting an entrance into the water and must be turned on and be in working condition during the family child care's operating hours while the swimming pool is not in use.
