Google Earth Used To Find Unlicensed Pools
Updated: Monday, 02 Aug 2010, 10:14 AM EDT
RIVERHEAD, N.Y. - A town on New York's Long Island is using Google Earth to find backyard pools that don't have the proper permits.
The town of Riverhead has used the satellite image service to find about 250 pools whose owners never filled out the required paperwork.
Violators were told to get the permits or face hefty fines. So far about $75,000 in fees has been collected.

| They should get the owners to tell them which companies installed them and go after them for working without permits. There would be a lot fewer illegal pools if the pool companies decided it wasn't worth the risk of installing without permits. |

Good!
I hope that they were built-in pools with loose tiles. |
