Dear Mr. Johnson,
It has come to the city's attention that you have an above-ground swimming pool on your
property located at 1628 Colfax Street that does not have the appropriate barrier surrounding it.
According to the 2006 International Building Code adopted by the City of Blair, any swimming
pool that can hold over 24 inches of water must have a four foot barrier (fence or wall)
surrounding the pool. The sole reason for the barrier is for safety by controlling access to the
swimming pool. Enclosed is a copy of the code with the relevant sections highlighted.
If you would like to contest this issue and you believe that your pool holds 24 inches of
water or less, please call our office so that we may set up an inspection with our building
inspector. Otherwise, please make arrangements to have the appropriate fence installed or the
pool removed no later than Monday, July 21, 2008. A follow up inspection will be completed 01).
or about this date to ensure the fence has been constructed or the pool removed. Also, a building
permit to install a fence is required and may be obtained at Blair City Hall, 218 South 16th Street,
Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact either Brenda Wheeler or myself at (402)
426-4191. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
