It appears everything is set for the Saturday opening of the Mt. Carmel City Pool. At Tuesday’s city council meeting, Mayor Joe Judge said 11 individuals are undergoing lifeguard certification this week to provide more than enough guards for this summer, if all pass the training. An American Red Cross representative surveyed the city pool offering some good news as well according to Judge…

If a lifeguard doesn’t pass certification as a deep water guard, Judge said they could certify as a shallow water guard.

Judge said two pumps that caused the pool to close early last season have been refurbished at a cost of $50,000. He said if the city is able to add a splash park at some point in the future, those pumps will still be able to be used.

Season passes will also be offered this year with a single pass costing $50, a family pass for two at $90, and a family of four pass for $150. One caveat to the family pass, Judge said all of those using it must live in the same household.
