WHEREAS, during the construction of swimming pools,excavatior
must be dewatered and this water must be pumped into an accessible
drainage area. Often this drainage area is just a flat yard or a
grassed swale where the sediments contained in the pumped water drop
out of suspension and silt up in the swale or the yard or the
developer pumps his water into a catch basin and the sediment builds
up there. Frequently, when the pool construction is completed pool
builders do not go back and properly clean up and remove this
sediment which builds up. Accordingly, it is necessary for the
City of Tamarac to impose certain regulations to guarantee proper
clean up and removal of sediment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF TAMARAC, FLORIDA:
SECTION 1: That Section 25-5 is hereby created and shall
read as follows:
Section 25-5. Pumped Water Sediment Removal.

pumped from the excavation shall be carried by means of a hose to
the nearest catch basin or to another structure or area where the
sediment contained in the water can be trapped and physically re-
moved to a land fill area. Water may not be pumped or spilled into
a yard or a grassed swale or street right-of-way by a swimming
pool contractor or other individual without provisions being made

to trap the sediment in a confined area and for the sediment to be
removed daily. Further, the water must be carried to a drain in
a manner approved by the Plumbing Inspector.

swimming pool, the contractor or owner must post with the City a

City Engineer of the clean up of the pumped water will be a

occupancy for the pool.
