Lakeville - Building Commissioner Robert Iafrate urges residents to get the facts about the requirements for the installation of a pool, even if they believe that the small pool may be selected would be exempt.

"People know the above ground pools need permits, but often do not realize that blue inflatable pools you see around fall under the same regulations as other pools," Mr Iafrate said."The blue swimming pools are so easily purchased - people go to BJ or K-Mart and buy it, then they think they can just take home and fill it with water, but no swimming pool with 24 inches water requires a building permit and an electrical permit.
