The singular shall include the plural, and the masculine shall include the feminine and neuter.
Following the effective date of this chapter, it shall be unlawful for any person desiring to construct or erect a swimming pool to commence construction thereof until a permit shall have first been obtained from the Building Official of the Borough of Bridgeport.

No person presently maintaining a swimming pool within the Borough of Bridgeport and within 300 feet of any property line of the property on which it is located shall continue to maintain such pool unless access to the same shall be restricted by protective fencing, protective plantings or such other impediments as shall be approved by the Building Official upon recommendation of the Borough Council of the Borough of Bridgeport. After registration, approval, if granted, shall be evidenced by a certificate of approval issued by the Building Official. Such certificate of approval shall be revocable in the event the enclosure no longer provides reasonable protection.
The enclosure of existing facilities, as provided for in § 502-4 hereof, shall be accomplished within 60 days of the date of notification issued by the Building Official that facilities existing as of the date of registration are inadequate. Said notification shall further set forth the minimum facilities acceptable to the Borough.

All applications for permits shall be made in writing, in duplicate, and shall include such plans, drawings or other data as may be required by the Building Official and shall satisfactorily indicate the method of fencing the facility. A fee in the sum as set from time to time by resolution of the Borough Council shall be chargeable for all permits.
Editor's Note: This ordinance removed specific fees from the Borough's Code; the current fees resolution of the Borough is on file in the office of the Borough Secretary.
Any person who shall be convicted of a violation of any of the provisions of this chapter before any Magisterial District Judge shall be punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000 and costs of prosecution or by imprisonment in the county jail for a term not to exceed 30 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment. The continuation of such violation for each successive day shall constitute a separate offense, and the person or persons allowing or permitting the continuation of the violation may be punished as provided above for such separate offense.
