Summary

Staff said the pool was shut down for three days after an over-chlorination event around July 4; an AquaRig component was found broken and repaired, and staff noted recent usage of potable material (about 15 tons last month).

Staff reported that a July 4 weekend "tornado break" over-chlorinated the municipal pool and forced a three-day closure while water chemistry was restored. Staff said they stayed in contact with Lindsey and the coach during the shutdown and returned the pool to normal operations after remediation.

On equipment, staff said they discovered a broken AquaRig component inside the filter tank and called a technician who disassembled and repaired it. The utility staff also reported using roughly 15 tons of potable material last month and described ongoing meter-reading and water-line replacement work that followed recent storm damage.
