(A) No person shall begin construction of a swimming pool or shall alter the design, modify plumbing, replace filtration or circulation equipment or reconstruct any swimming pool without first having submitted plans and specifications to the Enforcement Authority for review and approval. The application to the Enforcement Authority for a permit to construct, alter design or reconstruct shall be submitted on the forms required by the Enforcement Authority, and shall be supported by all information, data, plans, specifications and pertinent explanatory data required by the Enforcement Authority to demonstrate compliance with the standards established by this article and other applicable ordinances. The swimming pool shall be built in accordance with the plans and specifications as approved by the Enforcement Authority unless approval of each change has been given in writing by the Enforcement Authority. Any part of the swimming pool system lawfully installed prior to the effective date of this article may have its existing use, maintenance or repair continued, if the Enforcement Authority determines the use, maintenance or repair is in accordance with the original design and location and no hazard to the public health, safety, or welfare is created by such system. All swimming pool installations, design, alterations, significant changes in operational procedures or reconstruction thereto including equipment, piping, and appliances relating thereto shall be inspected or otherwise approved prior to the use of the swimming pool. It shall be the duty of the owner or the owner's agent to notify the Enforcement Authority that the swimming pool is ready for inspection. Such notification of requested inspection shall be given not less than 24 hours before the next business day for the Enforcement Authority.
(B) Approval of plans or acceptance of specifications shall not prevent the Enforcement Authority from thereafter requiring the correction of errors in said plans or specifications or from requiring the halting of construction operations being carried on thereunder, when in violation of this article or any other ordinance, nor prevent the Enforcement Authority from revoking any approval issued in error.
