An unsecured pool in Wellington is at the center of a code compliance case, with daily fines imposed on the property owner. During a recent special magistrate hearing, it was confirmed that the pool, which has been a point of contention since February, still contains water and remains unsecured.

The magistrate found the property owner in violation of local code, specifically section 5-1-105.1, due to the ongoing safety hazard. The owner has been given until May 15, 2025, to rectify the situation, with fines of $50 per day accruing thereafter.

The next hearing is scheduled for June 12, 2025, at the Wellington Municipal Complex. If the property owner fails to comply by this date, a fine certification hearing will take place, potentially leading to further penalties. This case highlights the ongoing efforts by local authorities to enforce safety regulations and maintain community standards.
