Council recognizes scholarship winner; announces pool, splash‑pad and water‑system updates
Summary
Council presented a $1,000 scholarship to Hallie Wilkerson, announced Joseph Smith Hayes pool is open, extended splash‑pad hours and outlined ongoing water-system improvements, including the discovery of previously unrecorded valves that will reduce shutdowns during work.
The council recognized Hallie Wilkerson as one of the Russell Springs scholarship award winners and presented her with a $1,000 check; Wilkerson told the council she will attend the University of Kentucky.
In the mayor’s report the mayor said Joseph Smith Hayes pool is open for the season and the city has a new pool overseer. The mayor announced the splash pad will be open until 6 p.m. beginning Monday; rentals will be available 6:30–8:30 p.m. and must be booked during that window.
On infrastructure the mayor reported the city’s water-system improvement project is ongoing and contractor Clari’s Construction has started work in front of the high school. Crews exposed the main line and located several previously unrecorded valves, which the mayor said will allow the city to shut off smaller sections of the system instead of the entire supply during repairs. Council members were told a progress report will be presented 5 p.m. before the next council meeting.
No council votes were recorded on the pool, splash pad or water‑system items at the meeting; each was reported as information and operational updates.
