When a pool or spa is re-plastered or re-surfaced such as patching & repairing ONLY, plan review is not usually required (unless additional work will be done at the same time, such are replacing suction covers, handrails, tile lines, splitting the main drains or equalizer lines, plugging up equalizer lines and installing autofil, etc…) however, a scope of work should be submitted to Placer County Environmental Health for review.
Pre and Final replaster inspections will be required
