LISBON The community swimming pool is unlikely to reopen this year for a second consecutive summer, as village officials continue to search for funds to repair it.
The pool was closed last summer in response to the COVID-19 virus, and village councilman Ryan Berg reported at this week’s council meeting that it will probably remain so this year.
Berg updated council on a recent meeting of the parks committee in which repairs to the pool were discussed. There are major leaks at the pool, and officials spent 2020 trying to come up with an affordable solution.
A pool consulting firm recommended removing the stainless steel gutter/circulating system embedded in the concrete because the concrete had begun to deteriorate. This would cost an estimated $271,000.
