CPSA Scores Another Win Against Water Restrictions

As indicated in a CPSA Alert published on October 17th, the California Pool and Spa Association

is far from done responding to potential drought restrictions on filling new and existing

swimming pools and spas during certain water emergencies. Even though the drought in

California is over, cities must periodically file update their Urban Water Management Plans and

Water Shortage Contingency Plan as part thereof.

The City of Lathrop, just South of Stockton in Northern California, was in the process of doing

just that when the CPSA received notice that the proposed Ordinance contained a prohibition on

filling swimming pools and spas in Stage III, 30% Water Use Reduction. This prohibition applied

to both new and existing swimming pools and spas.

CPSA’s Executive Director John Norwood attended the City Council meeting on Monday,

October 16th to object to the proposed fill prohibition. Additionally, the association contacted

City staff that afternoon to discuss its concern. The Ordinance had actually been through its first

reading at the City’s meeting two weeks earlier and was scheduled for the consent calendar. After

Mr. Norwood’s presentation, City Council Member Martha Salcedo moved to vote on the

consent calendar, absent the proposed water emergency ordinance. She asked that the water

emergency ordinance be put over so discussions could occur with staff and CPSA until the next

City Council meeting on Monday, November 6th.

Discussions with city staff did occur and CPSA was notified this week by the City’s Director of

Public Works that the Ordinance was being revised and the prohibitions on filling new and

existing pools were being removed. The only provisions that remain in the Ordinance are in

Stage II, 20% Water Reduction, requiring swimming pools and spas be covered when not in use.

The City of Lathrop is just the most recent example of why CPSA and the industry must remain

steadfast in its response and opposition to proposed laws and ordinances that would potentially

shut down the swimming pool and spa industry in certain drought or emergency water situations.

Swimming pools and spas are not water wasters, a fact confirmed by numerous local water

districts, the state Department of Water Resources, and the California Water Quality Control

Board. However, nobody is going to make this point for the industry. Unless the industry

continues to speak up and fight against such restrictions, the construction as well as the servicing

of swimming pools will be adversely affected by such proposals.

CPSA, the California Pool and Spa Association, serves as the statewide public policy representative for the pool, spa, and hot tub industry. We advocate on behalf of industry interests before the California Legislature and state and local regulatory agencies, and for individual members dealing with enforcement issues. Working daily on the industry’s behalf, we have an unmatched track record in successfully negotiating and fighting against unreasonable and costly legislation and for enforcement of unlicensed contractor laws. CPSA promotes the highest standards of professional conduct in pool construction, service, and repair, and seeks to educate the public on the proper maintenance and safe use of swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs. For nearly 40 years, CPSA has been the only organization registered to lobby at the State Capitol on behalf of the pool, spa, and hot tub industry. CPSA is funded by membership dues and donations. For more information on CPSA and legislation we are watching, call 916-447-4113.
