I am located in an AE8 flood zone and currently planning an in ground pool build.
City is requiring the following:
pool equipment shall be elevated to or above the design flood elevation (10’ AMSL) or be anchored to prevent floatation and protected to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding.
Has anyone constructed their pool in a flood zone, what did you do with your equipment?
I am curious about the second portion of the statement below:
“protected to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding.”
How would one achieve this? Does this require a barrier of some sort or is it simpler than that?
I can elevate the equipment but that seems like it presents its own set of problems.
I appreciate any insight you all can offer.
