Water Safety

Recreational Health Intro

Environmental Health staff conducts routine and complaint inspections of public swimming pools to ensure that they remain free of safety hazards and communicable diseases. Public pools include swimming pools, spa pools, and wading pools at schools, community pools, mobile home parks, commercial sites, health clubs, resorts, apartments, condominiums, theme parks, motels and hotels.

Fresno County Environmental Health Division's inspection reports are now available online at www.fresnohealthinspections.com

Plan Check

Plans and specifications for new and remodeled pools must be submitted prior to construction to ensure that the pool facility complies with the minimum construction and safety requirements. Complete the following form, whichever is applicable:

Please Note: All Sections of the Form(s) Must Be Completed. Incomplete Forms Will Not Be Accepted.

Plans must be submitted to the Environmental Health Division and the Fresno County Department of Public Works and Planning, Building and Safety, for review and approval when constructing or remodeling public swimming pool facilities in the unincorporated areas of Fresno County (see below). If the pool is located in an incorporated city, plans must be submitted to the building department of the incorporated city and Environmental Health for plan checking. Pool plan check fees will apply.
