Do It Right: Backyard Pools

Thinking about getting a pool? Owning a pool is terrific but it comes with responsibilities. By-law 4008 requires every outdoor swimming pool that is capable of holding water deeper than 24 inches or is greater than 22 sq. ft. to be enclosed by a fence. A permit for a swimming pool enclosure must be obtained before the pool is installed. Remember to investigate the cost of proper fencing/enclosure before purchasing any pool­—including softsided and inflatable models. Learn more at www.tillsonburg.ca/pools.
