Two public pools in Westmoreland County are delayed in opening up to swimmers this year.
A renovation at the West Newton Community Pool and staffing and leak issues at Crabapple Community Pool in Sewickley Township prompted both to miss their typical opening dates around Memorial Day. In West Newton, the $100,000 project was being funded, in part, by a grant and American Rescue Plan money contributed from the borough. Pool passes and parties won’t be sold until the pool opens, which could be in mid-June.
The Crabapple Community Pool has a new manager but lifeguards and other staff are still needed. Tests are also being done in the deep end to see if leaks have been fixed. If everything is OK, the pool could open in the next few weeks.
