In the State of Illinois, the responsibility to enact pool safety regulations falls under the jurisdiction of the local municipality. As such, the Village of Oreana Board of Trustees has approved (6-0) an ordinance requiring all pools within the Village of Oreana to be enclosed with a fence. The pool structure can serve as the enclosure on above ground pools at least 4 feet tall, provided the ladder or steps is enclosed with a minimum height of 4 feet.
This requirement is in effect for new construction, and existing pools. Property owners must be in compliance with this requirement no later than June 17th, 2026.
