CARSON CITY POOL OPERATOR’S GUIDE
Carson City requires that every “public pool” must be maintained under the supervision of a qualified operator who is responsible for the sanitation and safety of the facility and the maintenance of its equipment and records. “Public pool” means any structure, basin, chamber, or tank containing an artificial body of water intended to be used collectively by numbers of persons for swimming or bathing operated by any person whether he be owner, lessee, operator, licensee, or concessionaire, regardless of whether a fee is charged for use. It does not include pools at private residences that are controlled by the homeowner, the use of which is limited to swimming or bathing by family members or their invited guests.
This guide is designed to provide basic information for the operators of public swimming pools, spas, hot tubs, and baths. The requirements for adequate maintenance and compliance with health laws are presented. For the purpose of this guide, the term ‘pool’ shall apply to all of the above, except where spas, hot tubs and baths are specifically mentioned.
Since this guide is an overview, the reader is encouraged to contact our office or your pool supply dealer if more specific information is needed or desired.
The regulations for public pools in Carson City consist of the Carson City Municipal Code (CCMC) Chapters 9.04.020 and 9.07, the Nevada Revised Statues (NRS) 444.065–444.120, and the Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) 444.010– 444.546. *
