Board warns municipal pool may not open on schedule amid pump and cleaning problems
Summary
Board members said the pool is unlikely to open on schedule because a key pump is slow, cleaning and concrete work are incomplete, and filling the pool depends on arranging a high-volume water source and resolving equipment problems.
A board member told colleagues that “we're not going to open at this rate,” describing a slow pump and unfinished cleaning that will delay filling the pool. The group discussed using a fire hydrant and coordinating with local contacts (Sam or Nathan) to speed filling, while noting complications with water-tower pressure that previously reduced capacity in some neighborhoods.
Members agreed they need to complete pressure washing, patching and chemical systems checks before filling. One participant said they had moved a pump and checked it, but that refilling would be slow at the current rate. The board discussed temporary measures to speed refill (fire department connection) and cautioned about checking tower capacity and scheduling to avoid low pressure in other parts of town.
