🏊♂️ Pool Update: Repairs Completed, Reopening Soon!
We’re pleased to report that repairs to the community pool have been completed! The next steps include verifying the repair work and rebalancing the pool water to ensure everything meets safety and quality standards.
While we do not yet have an exact reopening date, we’re in the final stretch. Once all systems are verified and water chemistry is balanced, we will share the official reopening announcement.
A special thank you to Steve Nutt, who generously donated his time and labor to complete the repair work at no charge. We are so grateful for this act of service to the community!
Thank you for your patience — we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back to the pool very soon!
