(KMZA)--The Seneca Aquatic Center will open for the 2020 season.
The Seneca City Council Wednesday evening unanimously approved opening the pool the week of June 15.
City Administrator Matt Rehder told the Council the recreation department now has enough staff to open the facility. He said plans are to clean the pool and certify lifeguards next week in preparation for the opening.
The Aquatic Center normally opens Memorial Day weekend, but an emergency health order was in place at the time due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Those restrictions were lifted Monday by the Nemaha County Health Board and Local Health Officer Jane Sunderland, allowing for the Aquatic Center to open.
Local health officials are still urging residents to practice good hand hygiene, wear a face covering in public and social distance.
