Williamson County Pool and Safety Code Update 2022

Date Recorded: August 24, 2022

Presented by: Mark Churilla, R.S., Sanitarian Team Supervisor, Environmental Health Division, Williamson County and Cities Health District                

The Williamson County and Cities Health Department (WCCHD) is fully implementing its swimming pool permit and inspection program. The program regulates all apartment community swimming pools and interactive water features, and will require plan review and approval for all newly constructed swimming pools as well as major renovations at any existing apartment pool.

The WCCHD program administrator Mark Churilla, R.S., will give an online presentation about the permit and inspection program as well as the aspects of state statutes and codes related to pools and pool yard gates and fences.  Focus will be upon TH&S Ch. 757.

The WCCHD program applies to apartment pools in Williamson County.  With the exception of Round Rock.  The City of Round Rock created a swimming pool ordinance on June 25, 2021.  Any pools in Cedar Park that actually lie in Travis County would still need to be permitted under the WCCHD program as a member city.
