No pool this year, Brockington says

Bill Brockington says he can foresee a time when Westminster gets back into the business of providing a municipal swimming pool, but not this season.  Commenting today on Councilwoman Susan Ramey’s call for a general cleanup at the city’s closed pool on Lucky Street, Brockington said there are impediments to restore the old pool in time for the summer.  He describes the task of satisfying DHEC  significant, including the likelihood the state agency might require the re-location of the bath houses.  Brockington is interested in the possibility of developing 12 city-owned acres behind the West-Oak Middle School as a recreation complex to include a pool.  Walhalla, thanks to a public-private effort, is Oconee’s only municipality that operates a public swimming pool.
