Pool Plan Submission – CoServ

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 2 feet away from 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 with:
- All Electric & Gas locates drawn neatly on the pool plan and to scale.
- If service(s) are front-feed, please write “utilities front-feed” on the pool plan.
- Accurate distances to be noted on pool plan (not survey):
If the house is occupied, an unmarked final survey, survey plat or title survey must be submitted. If the house is under construction, a Subdivision Plat must be submitted. CoServ will not accept form board surveys, grade certificates or surveys stamped with ‘For City Permitting Only.'
Copy of Texas811 confirmation email
- Locates must be completed before submitting pool plan approval request and are considered “current” for 14 days from the date of 811-confirmation email.
- If a utility re-route is required, the pool and locates 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 CoServ's Construction/Development Portal. Pool plan review and approval can take up to 72 hours.
