Health Department Compliance Drives Pool Replacement Plans in Fillmore County
What happened
The Minnesota Department of Health informed city officials that the existing community swimming pool in Preston, Fillmore County, has several safety and health code deficiencies that require compliance. Officials stated that the cost of fixing the nearly 70-year-old facility, which suffers from significant water loss and outdated systems, is financially impractical. Consequently, the city is considering a $6 million bond referendum to fund a new municipal aquatic center.
