(KNZA)--Horton’s Aquatic Park will open for the summer season, following a reversal of the original decision to keep it closed for the season.

Horton Mayor Bryan Stirton told MSC News the decision to open the municipal swimming pool was made during a meeting of the Horton City Commission held June 15.

According to Stirton, the reevaluation of the pool’s opening followed the lifting of COVID-19 related restrictions in Brown County.

The aquatic park is now set to open July 1.

Due to the virus, certain restrictions are put in place for the season, including a limit of no more than 75 patrons in the pool at one time.  The cleanliness of the facility will be constantly monitored by staff, with afternoon pool checks at 2:00 and 4:00 to be held for 15-minute periods of cleaning.

The pool will be open daily from 12 noon until 6:00.

The Commission on June 1 had voted to keep the aquatic park closed for the season, with Stirton, at that time, casting the lone no vote against the decision.
