Opening Of Town Pools Delayed
The Hartford Courant May 26, 2009
The opening of the Welch and Goslee town swimming pools has been delayed until June 20.
The pools traditionally open Memorial Day weekend, but the town determined that low early season turnout and the need for code compliance work on drains and drain covers necessitated the delay.
The town estimates that the delay will save almost $12,000, which can be used to offset the approximately $5,000 needed to perform the repairs. For information, call 860-285-1990.
