Neighboring community announced they will not be
opening their municipal swimming pool this summer
to save money. ?They say it costs $100,000 to
operate for the season, but they must spend $50K
to mothball it while it's idle, so only $50K saved.


Wow. ?What needs to be done to mothball a pool?


? ? ? ? What is needed to mothball a pool varies greatly with the
design of the pool, the local ground conditions and the local weather
conditions. ?


suggest community fund raising to cover the remaining 50 grand
difference. and remind them the kids who would of hung out at the pool
may turn to mischef and crime, from boredom


Leave about eight inches of water in the deep end of the pool and use it
waterboard the miscreants found guilty.
