The Council finds and declares that the use of any swimming pools by a substantial number of people is a factor in the transmission of disease and in the occurrence of accidents causing bodily injury or death to human beings unless such pools are constructed, operated and maintained in accordance with proper minimum standards of engineering and sanitation. It is the policy and intent of the city to protect the public health and safety by requiring that all swimming pools in the city, insofar as possible, shall meet proper minimum standards of safety and sanitation designed and adapted to minimize the possibility of accidental injury and the transmission of disease through the medium of such pools or the common use thereof. The Council further finds and declares that these objectives can be achieved only through regulation and control of the design, construction, maintenance and operation of such pools.
