Sky watch on pools
Aerial photographs to be taken for the Heathcote County Council should help to locate swimming pools not yet notified to the council, the council’s townplanning committee was told yesterday. The County Engineer, Mr D. J. May, said that about 20 people had told the council about their pools since the introduction of a by-law that made fencing of pools compulsory. The county had at least 10 times that number of pools, he said.
The photographs would help to find swimming pools in the area, and it was then a matter of inspecting them, Mr May said. The County Chairman, Mr 0. T. Alpers, suggested that the council put a notice in a building trade magazine, if there was one, so that builders knew that a permit for a pool was necessary. Aerial photographs would not show pools that were being built now, he said.
