The Kasson City Council will meet again at 6 p.m. on Jan 25 at City Hall, 401 5th St. S.E.
A team of people has been researching Kasson’s options for their aging swimming pool since the fall of 2010. Parts of the pool are more than 70 years old, and the newest part is about 30 years old.
To bring the pool up to state safety code standards and to repair or replace deteriorating equipment would cost about $1.4 million, the Kasson City Council learned at their Jan. 11 meeting. A report prepared by U.S. Aquatics noted, “… the facility is deficient in several areas with respect to the state swimming pool code.”
From the ‘toe-stubbers’ in the surrounding deck, to the non-automatic pH monitoring, the pool needs extensive updating.
The report provided three options; renovation of the pool, reconstruction and expansion of the pool, and construction of a new aquatic facility.
In Tuesday's print edition, find out how much a new aquatic center will cost taxpayers.
