Twenty more city pools are set to open in the next few days, making all 46 that will be open for the season ready for the Fourth of July.

Thanks to a donation from local businesses and residents of $429,141 from the “Splash and Summer Fund” to the city budget, 46 of the city’s 73 pools will be open this summer.

Before the donation was made, most of the city’s pools did not have funding to open.
