The Broward County Health Department’s (BCHD) Environmental Engineering Section regulates the construction and modification of public swimming pools. The purpose of this program is to protect the health and safety of the users of public pools.

Before construction or modification of a public pool, written approval must be obtained from this department. Construction and modification plans must be prepared, signed and sealed by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Florida. Examples of modifications which would require approval include non-equivalent changes or additions to filtration and treatment equipment or to the pool structure.

Twice yearly inspections of pools are conducted by the BCHD’s Environmental Health Section.
