It is unlawful for any person to empty and refill a swimming pool or spa except to prevent or repair structural damage or to comply with public health regulations. Discharge of pool water, other than directly to the sanitary sewer system, must be consistent with this code with regard to stormwater. Discharge of pool filter backwash water to the stormwater drainage system is prohibited. All pools and spas must be equipped with a water recirculation device. The use of a pool/spa cover is encouraged to prevent evaporative water loss.
