HAVEN, Kan. — It looks like the city of Haven will be without a city pool again this summer. In a statement released by the city from Mayor Adam Wright, the continued legal battle involving repairs of the pool two years ago will likely keep the pool closed for the foreseeable future.
Wright issued the statement below:
"Many citizens continue to inquire as to the status of the renovations and improvements to the City Pool. At the current time, the city is engaged in litigation in Reno County district court related to the City Pool project and all parties to the litigation are working diligently to find resolutions to the dispute."
"Multiple engineering firms and contractors are aware of the concerns of the city and working on remedies to resolve the concerns. There is no question that the complicated nature of lawsuits and construction cause delay well beyond what the parties would hope for fixing the pool. At this time, there is little hope that the pool will be operational for any portion of the 2021 season, but everyone involved is trying to seek out creative solutions to ensure that the pool is operational for our citizens as soon as possible.”
Wright says he will continue to update the public on the status of the pool.
