RANDOLPH - The Randolph City Park Board met Thursday, June 4 at the city park to discuss problems in opening the city swimming pool. It was reported new filter material had been ordered to replace the inoperable one due to mechanical failure. Excess filter sand was being discharged into the pool causing cloudy conditions making it unsafe for swimming according to state law.
The filter material was to be picked up Tuesday in Grand Island and installation would begin as soon as possible. Councilman Podany discussed problems of the previous year and gave a report from the City Council.
The repairs could be done by Thursday at which time the pool could open for the year.
The Park Board stresses to the public that the rules in regard to use of the pool have been set up according to state regulations and for the health and safety of all who make use of it.
