What would if the the chlorinated water of a swimming pool is regularly discharged into a river
Answers
Water from swimming pools and hot tubs often contain high levels of chlorine.
Discharging chlorinated pool/spa water into streams, (or irrigation canals, ponds, etc.) is
harmful to fish and other aquatic life. This fact sheet was developed to provide you with
information on management practices that will minimize the impact of chlorinated water
discharged from swimming pools and hot tubs. The following ´Best Management
Practices´ apply to water discharged from swimming pools and hot tubs.
Chlorinated water should not be discharged into storm sewers or surface waters. This is
especially true for large pools such as community swimming pools. Discharge to a
sanitary sewer is not possible because it is not allowed.
Chlorinated water from pools and hot tubs may be disposed on the ground or irrigated on
your property under the following circumstances.
• Prior to disposing or irrigating the water, shut off the chlorination system if you
have one, or stop adding chlorine.
• Hold the water in the pool or hot tub for at least one week to reduce the chlorine
level.
• Discharge or irrigate the water in an area where the water will not flow into a
stream or storm sewer.
• Discharge or irrigate the water on your property and ensure that it does not flow
off your property.
• Discharge or irrigate the water in a manner that will prevent nuisance conditions
(such as creation of odors, and fly and mosquito breeding conditions). Nuisance
conditions occur when water is ponded for a prolonged period.
