Plan to attend our upcoming meetings for input into the following studies: Official Plan Restructuring and Readability Planning & Development Council (Update) Town Hall, Council Chamber Bronte Village Revitalization Study Workshop 3 - Planning options Town Hall, Committee Room 2 For more information on Livable Oakville: www.oakville.ca/officialplanreview.htm IF YOU PROTECT YOUR POOL, YOU PROTECT YOUR FAMILY The Town of Oakville would like to remind residents that before they install their new pool this summer to learn about the Town's Pool Enclosure By-law including fencing requirements and permit regulations. Did you know that a permit is required for any pool depth that exceeds 2 feet? According to the Lifesaving Society of Canada, drowning is the third leading cause of accidental death in Canada for people 60 years of age and under. In fact, year after year the data shows that the majority of people who drown had no intention of going into the water -- their immersion was sudden and unexpected. To reduce the risk of a potential drowning, all pools must be enclosed by a fence, restricted by a lockable gate, if the depth capacity exceeds 60 cm (2 ft), and adhere to the appropriate setbacks from the property line. Pool Enclosure By-Law In March 2006, Council approved a Pool Enclosure By-law and fee structure for all forms of pools, including inflatable pools, landscape pond features, and hot tubs. For a full list of fees please visit www.oakville.ca Residents can also call Development Services at 905-845-6601 ext. 3033. residents are required to apply for a permit for all forms of pools and that pools must be enclosed by a fence, restricted by a lockable gate if the depth capacity exceeds 60 cm (2 ft) and adhere to the appropriate setbacks from the property line. These enforced regulations apply to all types of bodies of water, including above-ground, in-ground and inflatable pools, as well as backyard landscaping ponds and hot tubs - often overlooked as potential safety threats. Residents who have enclosures do not need to renew their permit, however, a new permit is required if they are altering or replacing their enclosure. The one time only permit fees are $50 for inflatable pools, and range from $100 to $315 for other types of pools. The Town would also like to remind existing pool owners water from their pools in their yard but to let it drain into the storm sewers.
