What is a pool plan review consultation?
This is an optional step before submitting your application for construction work on a public pool, spa, or spray ground.
During a pool plan review consultation, an Environmental Health Services expert will either:
- Meet on site to discuss construction options (such as issues with enclosures, equipment rooms, and existing pools)
- Do a high-level check of your plans and paperwork
We can help make sure that your application has everything you need to submit.
A pre-submittal pool plan review consultation can save you time later. You can fix any problems now before you start the formal application process.
