Pools Bring Summer Fun and Costs to Area Residents
As temperatures rise, pool demand grows beyond the wealthy with a typical 18 by 36 foot vinyl‑lined pool around $6,000 to install. Annual chemical costs about $125, with other estimates suggesting $1 daily. Local rules require five foot fences in cities and four foot fences elsewhere. Jane's Pools reports four installs this year starting in March while Aiken Swimming Pools handles 30 to 35 each summer.
