You can build a pool, you will need a building permit, and there are ordinances which depend on zoning, easements, size, type of pool etc (above ground? Below ground?)
I have seen private pools in the area of Alb
uquerque, Rio Rancho etc. I have owned three houses in other states in the past with pools (PA, MD and FL), I found pools can lessen the value of some homes, especially if they are in ground pools. I think maintenance and costs of having a pool might be a bit expensive. for some people in this area, but I see pool supply stores, they might help.
You can contact the city, you can also contact some local real estate people and ask about pools in the area.
"considered envrionmentally irresponsible", I am sure some people might say that, but you build it legally and pay for the upkeep, you can do it...
