Bucksport delays Tim Memory Pool opening after water loss; Silver Lake Dam transfer talks ongoing
Summary
The town manager reported a delayed opening of the Tim Memory Swimming Pool after staff found a significant 24-hour water loss; negotiations over the transfer of the Silver Lake Dam are ongoing with no major update at this time.
The town manager reported that the planned opening of the Tim Memory Swimming Pool will be delayed after staff discovered a significant loss of water over a 24-hour period. The pool had been scheduled to open the following Monday; repairs are planned and the manager said the opening may be delayed by approximately two weeks if repairs proceed as expected.
"Pool was originally scheduled to open this coming Monday, but staff are investigating the issue and will be making repairs this coming week," the manager said, and added that a clearer update will be available next week.
The manager also said the town continues to meet with the town attorney and other affected parties regarding the transfer of the Silver Lake Dam; negotiations are ongoing and the manager reported no substantive update at this time. Finally, the manager reminded council of the Spirit of America Award deadline and welcomed new staff member Lindsey, praising her work at a recent election.
Why it matters: The pool closure affects recreational programming and seasonal planning; Silver Lake Dam is the subject of ongoing legal/administrative review that could have operational implications for the town.
Ending: The manager said staff will provide a clearer pool update within a week or two and that the council will revisit any substantive updates on the dam transfer when available.
