Hellertown Pool May Not Open On Time
Work on a new liner for the Hellertown Community Pool could delay June 15 opening.
Anyone looking forward to swimming in the Hellertown Pool when it opens for the season on June 15 could be in for a disappointment.
Borough manager Cathy Kichline said Monday night there's "a very, very good chance" the pool won't reopen on time due to work on the pool's liner taking longer than expected.
"We can't put a date on it," Councilman Tom Rieger said at Monday's council meeting, when the possible delay was announced.

Kichline said the borough would make every effort to make sure the pool opened on time. She said work on the poolhouse hasn't been held up.
In April, council instructed the borough engineer to put pressure on the contractor when it appeared the pool opening might be delayed.
