Enderby seeking feedback on new pool

Aug 14, 2019 | 6:00 AM

The city of Enderby is diving deep into a new survey by asking residents for their feedback on a new pool.

The survey came out Tuesday and Mayor Greg McCune said the response has been tremendous.

“In the first three hours 165 people have filled it out,” McCune revealed.

The survey asks respondents questions about how often they visit the current pool, activities they enjoy doing, and thoughts on the current pool located at 606 King Avenue.

“Our pool is about 60 years old so we’d love to get something new,” said McCune who added that the new pool will most likely be an outdoor facility.
