A look at how Hillsborough County's Code Enforcement helps the community prepare for days spent by the water

As Florida heads into its hottest months, water safety becomes even more essential.

In the latest episode of Hello Hillsborough, Grace and Tyler sit down with Hillsborough County's Director of Code Enforcement, Joe Gross, to discuss the steps the department takes to keep families safe around pools throughout the summer.

Code Enforcement's top priority is safety, ensuring neighborhoods are protected and community standards are upheld.

One initiative highlighted in the episode is Safe Pools Day. On and around this day, Code Enforcement officers visit community pools to confirm that all required safety measures are in place. It also serves as a reminder for parents to review and maintain proper pool safety precautions at home.
