(KLZA)--The Pawnee City Swimming Pool is scheduled to open for the season on Saturday, May 26.
During the April 23rd City Council meeting it was noted the pool hours will be changed this year. The pool will be open Sunday through Wednesday from 1 in the afternoon til 6. Thursday, Friday and Saturday the pool will remain open until 8 in the evening.
The pool upgrades are continuing. The liner cannot be applied until the low temperature each day is 55 degrees or above.
It was also noted during the meeting that during the pool renovation a 3/4-inch copper pipe, not found in the blueprints was cut off and cemented over.
Recently, it was discovered this was a “live” water pipe. You can hear water running in the girls' restroom.
City Foreman Clint Johnson and city crew members have been removing concrete to locate the pipe so it can be capped off. However, the Premier Pools employees that cut the pipe off are no longer working for the company and the company has no idea where the rest of the pipe is located.
Rural Water is going to use their “listening” device to see if they can locate the pipe to cap it off.
