Concrete Repairs Planned For Atchison Pool

(KAIR)--As the weather warms up, thoughts turn to swimming, with the Atchison Lions Pool a hot spot of activity during the summer months.

Pending City Commission approval Monday, repairs are in store for the swimming season, with Public Works Director Justin Pregont saying that includes concrete repair work at the popular site. “Over time, concrete kind of falls apart, breaks apart, and needs to be replaced. At the Lions Pool, we're particularly sensitive to that because you have people running around, particularly kids, with bare feet.”

Along with the concrete repairs, Pregont says several deck drains, which are the cause of numerous uneven surfaces, will be replaced.

Two bids have been received for the work, one of more than $46,000 from Bottoroff Construction and the other for around $17,000 from Martin Construction.

If the City Commission approves the low bid, the work would begin as soon as possible and be completed by the time the pool opens on May 28th.

The Commission will meet Monday afternoon at 4:30 at City Hall.
