The long-overdue proposed State of Texas Public Swimming Pool and Spa Rules were recently published in the July 24^th edition of the Texas Register for public comment.

These new rules would replace the existing pool and spa rules which were very confusing and burdensome for pool operators and regulatory agencies alike. Currently, there are one set of rules for swimming pools and spas constructed prior to 1999 and a completely different set of rules for those built after 1999.

Swimming pool regulations and codes are developed by government agencies to make sure that recreational water facilities, such as pools, water parks, and splash pads, provide a clean, healthy, and safe environment for the public. These regulations set minimum standards to decrease the public’s risk of illness and injury. To ensure that these regulations are followed, state and local officials regularly inspect treated recreational water venues.
