Public Swimming Pool and Spa Registration Instructions

When submitting an application for review of a public swimming pool to the Department, the applicant and/or designer must include the following for a complete application:

(1) A completed Department Swimming Pool Registration Form.
(2) Plan(s) of the pool showing depths, area, piping, and safety features, complying with the ANSI/National Spa and Pool Institute's Minimum Standards for Public Swimming Pools. If plans for existing in-ground pools are not available, complete the sample pool diagram page. For above ground pools, omit the plan, but be sure to include the dimensions in the application form.
(3) Plans and/or manufacturer's specifications for pumps and filtering equipment.
(4) A complete HHE-200 (Subsurface Wastewater Disposal System Application) if a separate building for showers and/or toilets are associated with the pool or spa OR if the pool backwash discharges to a subsurface system. For existing systems installed after 1974, check with your Town Office, or apply for a record search. Systems older than 1974 have no records, and a new design is necessary.
(5) A review fee of $15.00 is required. A check or money order must be made payable to the "Treasurer of State" and submitted.
(6) A pre-operational inspection is required. The Department must be notified at least 15 days in advance of placing the pool or spa in operation to allow for inspection and approval.

Upon receipt of all of the above, we will review your request. Please allow a minimum of 30 working days for the review.

If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to contact us.
