The Requirement

Kansas requires the emergency phone to be accessible and able to reach emergency services.

Citation: K.A.R. 28-34-2

What This Means for Your Property

Kansas doesn't specify an exact distance, so accessibility is judged case-by-case by inspectors. A phone visible from the pool deck, with a clear path to reach it, is the general standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — Kansas regulation K.A.R. 28-34-2 requires an accessible phone that can reach emergency services.
In most cases, yes. Kansas's pool phone requirement generally applies to any public or semi-public pool, which typically includes HOA, condo, and apartment community pools, not just commercial facilities. Confirm with your local health department if you're unsure how your specific pool is classified.
Generally yes — most states, including Kansas, don't require a traditional landline specifically. A dedicated cellular emergency phone that reliably dials emergency services without extra steps is typically an acceptable way to meet the requirement, particularly for pools that don't already have phone lines run to the deck.
Enforcement is usually handled by the state or local health department (or a building/safety code office) as part of routine pool inspections and licensing, sometimes with extra rules added at the county level. If you're unsure which office covers your property, your local health department is the best place to start.
