Did you receive a swimming pool notice on your door?

Unmaintained swimming pools are the top mosquito-producing sources in residential area Tulare County. If left unmaintained, a single swimming pool can produce thousands of mosquitoes in a short period of one week and can become a PUBLIC HEALTH RISK. The District surveys for green, unmaintained swimming pools each year during the start of the mosquito season (early spring) to reduce the mosquito abundance and disease transmission risk.

I received a swimming pool notice but my swimming pool is CLEAN or COMPLETELY DRY.  What should I do?

Our system is not flawless and sometimes pick up pebble tec pools, pool covers, shaded areas, and/or objects mistaken as dirty pools.

Please confirm the condition of your pool by uploading a picture below.

ACCEPTABLE POOL CONDITIONS

•       Clean functioning pool
•       Completely dry pool * Although it will not breed mosquito larvae, a completely dry swimming pool is              prone to costly structural damage. The District, in no way recommends that anyone empty their pool        and encourages residents to research the negative impact of removing the water before doing so.

Example of acceptable pool conditions

UNACCEPTABLE POOL CONDITIONS

• Unmaintained  green swimming pools  (both in ground and above ground) can breed thousands of mosquitoes.
• Swimming pools with any amount of water at the deep end (from rain or unpumped water) can still breed thousands of mosquitoes.
