Notes
- Pool accessory structures (decks, filter sheds, etc.) must be a minimum of
10 feet from a septic system or tank.
- If your pool filtration system requires backwash to clean the filter media,
then a properly sized drywell or leaching area is required for discharge of
filter backwash water. The drywell must maintain a 75 foot separation distance
from any water supply well.
Note: Backwash water is not allowed to discharge to the house septic system!
- Any pool is considered a permanent structure, and the requirements of 19-13-B100(a)
of the Connecticut Public Health Code must be met for the Health District to
grant pool approval. For additional information on approvals, click here.
