New pool owner in TN

We've already been in the pool a few times. The inspector wants a "convenience plug" added and I haven't been able to fill in the trench yet because of it.

The builder moved a lot of dirt around to keep the side all at 48"+ so I don't have to do a fence. There was 14" of elevation chance from one end to the other, so lots of extra dirt to move around. It's all seeded and strawed right now. The fall/winter plan is to build a deck around ~1/2 the pool. We didn't have the cash available to do it all at once and I wasn't going another hot summer without a pool.
