Inspection and Permit Services   Parting is such sweet sorrow when it comes to closing the family's swimming pool at this time of year. It was so nice escaping into your own back yard paradise at the end of one of those days you thought would never end. But equally as nice when you're not having a good chunk of your Saturday mornings tasked with vacuuming, filter maintenance, skimming, testing, chemicals etc., etc., etc…   Normally, as part of the swimming pool's winterization process, the pool water level is lowered to a point where any remaining frozen water will not damage the pool shell, liner, or plumbing associated with the filtering or circulations system.   Which brings me to a major concern when lowering those water levels and where that water may end up, either intended or unintended.   It is extremely important to know what a detrimental effect chlorinated swimming pool waters can have on our streams and associated eco-systems. The most common practice that puts our streams in jeopardy is pool water that is drained onto the driveway, allowing the water flow to make its way to and along the street curb eventually leading into the Township stormwater systems. It is important to realize that these systems lead right to our streams, which could significantly impact our beloved wild life. The Township does provide a structured permit program, allowing the ability to discharge pool waters in this fashion; BUT only with prior notice, permit, and oversight provided by the Township Engineering Department.   So - let's say goodbye to what I thought was a most enjoyable summer as we start unpacking our favorite comfy sweaters and wool blankets.   Michael V.
