Stagnant Swimming Pools
Mosquito transmitted diseases are a potential danger for anyone living in the region. We urge every Simi Valley resident to be on the lookout for stagnant bodies of water that could be a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
This may include swimming pools, fountains, ponds, and other water sources that are not maintained. The Simi Valley Municipal Code Section 6-9.01, which prohibits stagnant pools of water, states; “No person shall allow, suffer, permit, or maintain, whether by commission or omission, any standing or stagnant pool of water which, if left untreated or unabated, may be a source for mosquito breeding, uncontrolled weedy growth, or cause a malodorous condition or a condition dangerous for children.”
If you know about a stagnant pool or other body of water, please contact us at (805) 583-6753, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. or complete and submit a Code Enforcement Complaint Form online.
