Resurfacing in Glendale
Glendale offers a rebate for removing a pool, so if you're on the fence between resurfacing and taking it out, it's worth pricing both. If you're keeping it, the drain plan is the main local detail.
- Tap water
- About 55% Salt and Verde river water, 41% Colorado River water and 4% groundwater, per the city's 2025 report. The report describes the water as hard but doesn't give a number.
- Draining your pool
- City code bars pool and spa water from the street, alley and right of way. Drain onto your own property or into the sewer cleanout, at no more than 12 gallons a minute.
- ZIP codes we cover
- 85301 to 85308, 85310
Where these facts come from: City of Glendale 2025 Water Quality Report; City of Glendale, how to drain pools legally; City of Glendale water rebates. Rules change, so check with your city or water provider before you drain.

What to know in Glendale
Resurface or remove?
Glendale offers a water-saving rebate for pool removal. If you rarely swim, compare that against the cost of a new finish before you decide.
Skip wall-type cleanouts
The city's drain guidance recommends avoiding wall-mounted cleanouts. Your contractor should use a ground-level cleanout in the yard.
Keep it out of the street
Glendale's code bars pool water in the street, alley or right of way, so the drain goes to your yard or the cleanout.
Pick a finish, see a ballpark
Tap a finish and your pool size. The real price comes from the on-site quote.
