(A) Every person owning land on which there is situated a swimming pool which constitutes an obvious hazard and contains 24 inches or more of water in depth at any point, shall erect and maintain thereon an adequate enclosure either surrounding the property or pool area sufficient to make the body of water inaccessible to small children. The enclosure, including gates therein, must be not less than four feet above the underlying ground; all gates must be self-latching with latches placed four feet above the underlying ground or otherwise made inaccessible from the outside to small children.
(B) A natural barrier, hedge, pool cover, or other protective device approved by the City Council may be used so long as the degree of protection afforded by the substituted device or structure is not less than the protection afforded by the enclosure, gate, and latch described herein.
