Whitehall Pool open, fundraiser next week

The Whitehall Pool is open for business.

At the Town Council meeting Monday, pool commission member Steve Atnonioli reported the opening date was Thursday, June 9, a little earlier than usual.

He said they took care of some compliance issues; had some drain covers to replace, and installed an eye wash station.

“We took care of the pump issues that usually show up the first couple days. We are going to be changing a few things this year, we are trying to control our labor costs and increase our revenue some, try to close that gap to make it less of a (financial) burden to run the pool. It is expensive,” he said.

A fundraiser for the pool is scheduled Friday, June 23 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Whitehall Community Center. The event will feature a barbecue and live auction.
