Pool Plan Submission

When planning to install a pool, spa, or water feature, verification is required to ensure that there is no conflict with existing underground utilities. CoServ Electric lines must be a minimum of 10 feet away from any overhead power lines and 5 feet away from any underground structures and the water's edge; CoServ Gas lines must be a minimum of 3 feet away from any structure. Otherwise, a utility reroute will be necessary at the owner's expense.

In order for CoServ Engineering Services to review and approve your pool plans, the following documentation is required:

• Completed Pool Approval Request & Release form
• Copy of pool plan [Sample Pool Plan (PDF)], including:
  • All electric and gas locates drawn neatly and to scale.
  • If services are front-feed, note “utilities front-feed” on the plan.
  • Accurate distances (not survey measurements):
    • Electric:
      • Overhead: minimum 10 feet
      • Underground: minimum 5 feet
    • Gas: minimum 3 feet from any structure
    • For rear-feed gas services, indicate the distance from the fence to the water’s edge.
• Survey Requirements:
  • If the house is occupied: submit an unmarked final survey, survey plat, or title survey.
  • If under construction: submit a Subdivision Plat.
  • Not accepted: form board surveys, grade certificates, or surveys stamped “For City Permitting Only.”
• Copy of Texas811 confirmation email:
  • Locates must be completed before submitting a pool plan approval request and are considered “current” for 14 days from the date of the 811 confirmation email.
  • If a utility re-route is required, the pool outline and utility locations must be painted on the ground at the time the pool plan is submitted.
    • A $50.00 trip charge will be assessed if pool/locates are not painted out by the second site visit.

After gathering and completing the required documentation, you are ready to submit for approval using the Builder and Pool Plan Portal link. Pool plan review and approval can take up to 72 business hours.
