Repairs remain ongoing at the Walker Park Pool in efforts to safely open for the summer. City officials prepared to be open by this Saturday (June 10), however, leaks have continued to plague opening plans.
Last week, the pool was filled with water in belief that it would be ready for the weekend. However, according to Mayor Melisa Logan, after returning a few days later, it was obvious that continued water loss was occurring. She noted that both the wastewater and water departments, along with Nucor officials and various others are collaborating to identify where the leaks are and resolve the issue.
After doing so, she noted the possibility of allowing the pool to stay open beyond its normal season due to the delays.
