The cost of a new Town of Urbanna swimming pool could approach $1 million, Urbanna Town Council member Bill Goldsmith, who chairs the finance committee and the pool committee, told council at its Nov. 18 meeting.
An estimate by Douglas Aquatics has been received by the town, said Goldsmith. “We always knew we were looking at close to $1 million and the price is not a surprise.”
Mayor Barbara Hartley added, “The figures we have are under a million (dollars) but it doesn’t include a bath house.”
Council has considered building a pool bathhouse with restrooms that could also be used year around.
Hartley commented that Douglas Aquatics’ report included a photo of a pool they built that the committee liked. “So this one (being considered) has been pre-engineered.”
Council has not discussed details of the proposed pool in open session.
