Follow the rules on parking and pools

I have been asked the question what are the county parking codes. Here is a summary.

Clark County says vehicles parked at a residence must be operable. Trailers, recreational vehicles campers and boats belonging to the property owner may be parked on his or her property but cannot obstruct public right-of-ways, sidewalks, streets or alleys or any sight zone. Vehicles may be parked on a public street for up to 72 hours. They must be operable and have current plates and registration. If vehicles are parked in the public right of way for more than 72 hours, contact the Las Vegas Township Constable’s Office at 702-455-8697.

Another issue has been the community pools, which remain closed because of COVID-19. They will remain closed until we get the OK from the Governor’s Office. Homeowners associations did, however, receive a notice from the Southern Nevada Health District on rules and regulations for pool areas, or aquatic venues. First, the District wants signs that have lettering on a contrasting background with a font of 36 points.

Signs at each entrance of the pool area, or aquatic venue, should include:

■ In case of an emergency, dial 911.

■ Hours of the facility and “Unauthorized use of the aquatic facility outside of these hours is prohibited.”

■ No smoking in the aquatic venue or on the deck.

■ Do not swim if you have open wounds.

■ Do not swim if you are ill with diarrhea or have had diarrhea within the past two weeks.

■ Shower before entering the water.

■ No glass items allowed in the aquatic venue or on the deck.

■ Diaper changing on the deck is prohibited.

■ No animals on the deck, except service animals, and no animals allowed in the aquatic venue.

■ Qualified operator information, which includes company/operator name, contact information and the company/operator certificate number issued by the health authority.

This information must be posted within 30 feet of each entrance to each aquatic venue and be visible to bathers in the aquatic venues:

■ NO DIVING — in letters at least 4 inches high.

■ Location of the nearest emergency phone.

■ Contact information for aquatic facility management and emergency personnel.

■ Theoretical peak occupancy (capacity).
