BLAIR CITY POOL UPDATE
The Blair Public Pool has been repaired and is in the process of being refilled. Through a careful, inch by inch inspection of the entire pool floor surface, numerous small pieces of broken glass were found embedded in the paint. Blair City Hall learned on June 7, 2017, that vandals had broken glass bottles in the pool during the time the pool was being repainted in early May 2017. Prior to the final coat being applied, employees of the painting contractor worked to clean up the broken glass, but some small pieces remained and were painted over. These have been removed, and the entire surface checked several times. The Blair Police Department has opened an investigation into the vandalism and is interviewing witnesses. City of Blair and YMCA employees are working diligently to get the City Pool ready to open to the public by 1:00 p.m. Friday, June 9, 2017.
