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

A sh*tload of mothballs?

I would guess... security, insurance, maintenance to
prevent stagnant water accumulation (mosquitos),
salaries for the (tenured) life guards and more...

keep mostly full of water so it doesnt float and destroy itself, they
do actually raise right out of the ground. now chlorinate and
circulate the water so it doesnt get stagnant and buggy, now add lnite
sec urity lighting, guards, cut grass, maintain buildings, pay utility
bills.

its all very costly, espically if you want to use it again.

if re use isnt part of plan just jackhammer big hole in bottom so
water cant accumulate, fill the now junk pool with fill ...........

still need minimal maintence on buildings unless you tear them down,
and stuff like cutting grass, and security so it doesnt become a
druggie hangout etc
