OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
Williams wants to reassure its customers and the general public
COMMUNIQUÉ OFFICIEL - Williams réagit à la confusion entourant la réglementation des piscines résidentielles
Williams Responds to the Confusion Surrounding Residential Pool Regulations
Saint-Alphonse-de-Granby, June 26, 2025
In response to growing concerns surrounding the new provincial residential pool safety regulations, Williams wishes to reassure its customers and the general public.
Over the past few weeks, conflicting information has been circulating in the media and on social networks, creating confusion and uncertainty about the actual requirements that must be met by the September 30, 2025 deadline. This situation has led to uncertainty in the market, with increased customer inquiries and a noticeable decline in confidence observed in the field.
We would like to clarify the following points:
Rigorous Monitoring and Active Collaboration
Williams is in constant communication with the Lifesaving Society, the organization responsible for overseeing the implementation of the regulations. We are closely monitoring all official updates, including the revised Application Guide published by the Government of Quebec at the end of May 2025.
This guide introduces several important adjustments, which we have carefully integrated into our internal communications and into the advice we provide to our clients.
Against Shortcuts and Misinformation
We have taken note of the rumors circulating about so-called “DIY” or temporary safety solutions. Our position is clear: every pool installation project must be based on solid safety standards validated by the proper authorities.
It is essential that every homeowner verify the specific rules in effect with their municipality. Local requirements may differ from provincial regulations, and a misunderstanding could lead to unnecessary costs.
Commitment to Transparency
We have always operated with transparency, ethics, and rigor, and that will not change. In a context where public trust in institutions is fragile, our responsibility is to remain clear, fair, and informative.
Our sales and advisory teams are trained to guide our clients through their decision-making process, without pressure.
We are proud to offer a patented, ultra-durable, safe solution with a 20-year warranty for those seeking lasting compliance without compromise.
The Williams Team
