150 feet is tighter than several neighboring states, so measure carefully from the pool's edge when deciding where to mount the unit.

Carriers across the U.S. are retiring traditional copper landlines. If your pool emergency phone still relies on a copper line in Utah, that service can go dark without warning — which is why many properties are switching to cellular emergency phones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — Utah rule R392-302 requires an emergency telephone within 150 feet of the pool.
In most cases, yes. Utah'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 Utah, 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.
