Do you know how to drain your swimming pool? It isn’t dropping a hose onto your driveway or back alleyway and letting it flow. That creates flooded gutters, muddy messes and places for mosquitos to breed. To properly drain your pool, place your hose into the sewer cleanout located on your property. Everybody has a cleanout. It’s what plumbers use to snake your plumbing line if you have a clog. By properly draining your pool, and placing all pool water in your clean you, you play an important part in the fight against mosquitoes, long term damage to city streets, among other things. For additional information, contact your local Building Department at 235 North Broadway, or call us at (760) 922-6130. Our office hours are Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 4:00pm.
