Public Works reports major pool repairs under budget; snack stand rebuilt in‑house
Summary
Council heard that Public Works completed significant pool repairs and snack‑stand interior work for substantially less than previously estimated, and that presales for pool passes are underway.
Public Works reported on April 21 that crews have rebuilt the inside of the pool snack stand, replaced deteriorated plumbing and identified a major leak at the municipal pool; the department said doing the work in‑house saved the borough a substantial portion of the originally discussed budgeted amount.
Councilmembers praised Public Works for completing renovations and finding a cost‑effective fix for the leak. One councilmember said the earlier budget estimate had been about $150,000, but Public Works' repairs were "not even close to half of that" and possibly closer to a quarter of the original estimate. The department also updated council that the pool should be open for the holiday weekend if remaining work proceeds as planned and that presales for pool passes have begun.
No formal action was required; council recorded the report and expressed appreciation to Public Works staff for the savings and progress.
