Supervisors to Ease Home Pool Restrictions
The Orange County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to eliminate some of the state’s toughest restrictions regarding home pool and spa safety.

Officials with real estate and pool organizations said they would help create a new policy for the board to consider.
