(Estherville)– The Estherville City Council Monday evening heard an update on the status of the city’s outdoor pool, which remains closed.
City officials say some 400,000 gallons of water simply disappeared as crews were attempting to fill the pool recently. It holds 255,000 gallons. City Administrator Penny Clayton says they identified leaks at 11 different locations, all caused by faults in pipes. Clayton says they believe the failures are due to the ground shifting. She told the council they’re hopeful repairs can get started very soon…
Clayton adds those who purchased passes can get refunds…
Clayton says she’s cautiously optimistic they’ll be able to get the pool open yet this season.
