Marshall provides timeline for new aquatic center: MDH inspection next week, ribbon cutting expected in early August
Summary
Council received a construction and operations update: plaster curing, Minnesota Department of Health inspection next week, staff training and punch‑list work remain, and a slow opening for season‑pass holders with a potential ribbon cutting around Aug. 10.
Council’s aquatic center committee updated the council on progress at the new pool. Committee members reported that plastering is complete and needs 10–14 days to cure. The Minnesota Department of Health is scheduled to conduct an inspection next week to confirm construction and safety items.
Committee members said remaining tasks include signage placement, a punch list of items, lifeguard training and final maintenance steps. The committee plans a slow opening that will give current season‑pass holders early access, and members said they are aiming for a ribbon cutting in early August (around Aug. 10) assuming final checks and training are complete.
Council and staff asked for coordination with the city administrator and operations team to manage the opening timeline and public communications; the committee said it will post updates to the city website and social media when details are confirmed.
