Just Wondering

Pools (0.00 / 0)

Went to the building department today, and they told me that back in the early seventys there were no regulations, however now if it is a inground pool that it must be inclosed with a fence and that the building department over sees this thru permits. hope this helps.

Homeowners insurance (0.00 / 0)

We had an above ground pool when I was a kid. My parents did put up a fence but I believe they had to do so to get coverage under the homeowners policy.

Fences are required (0.00 / 0)

State law says that any pool greater than 24 inches deep & 200 sq feet in diameter, INCLUDING INFLATABLE POOLS like the ones you buy at Wal-Mart or Job Lot, require a fence.  

I'm not sure about older, potentially grandfathered pools.

Thank You Everyone (0.00 / 0)

I want to thank everyone for coming to my rescue. I knew that if I posted my question on "mydedham" that an answer would be found.

There are a lot of smart cookies in Dedham. I am just glad that they read the blog.
