A. Underwater Lighting: Where underwater lighting is used, not less than 0.5 watts shall be employed per square foot of swimming pool water surface area. Such lights shall be spaced to provide illumination so that all portions of the pool, including the bottom, may be readily seen without glare.
B. Area Lighting: Area lighting shall provide at least 0.6 watts per square foot of deck area. If such lighting is used for night swimming, area and swimming pool lighting combined shall provide at least two (2) watts per square foot of pool area.
C. Wiring: All electrical wiring shall conform with the national electrical code 1 of the National Underwriters Laboratory and applicable local codes.
D. Grounding: Each underwater light shall be individually grounded by means of a screwed or bolted connection to the metal junction box from which the branch circuit to the individual light proceeds. Such junction boxes shall not be located in the swimming pool deck.
E. Overhead Wiring: No overhead electrical wiring shall pass within twenty feet (20') of the swimming pool enclosure.
F. Adequate Ventilation: All indoor swimming pools, bathhouses, dressing rooms, shower rooms, and toilet spaces shall be adequately ventilated either by natural or mechanical means. (Ord. 11-2-3-71, 5-6-1971)
