June 2026 Pool Update

Dear Coldspring Community Association Members and Non-Resident Pool Members,

As we move into the final weeks of the pool season, we would like to provide an update on this year’s operations and thank everyone for their patience and support.

As many of you know, the pool faced several significant challenges at the beginning of the season. Following a difficult winter, we encountered a number of issues that affected the pool’s ability to open on schedule, including inspection concerns and repairs required to meet regulatory requirements. Throughout the spring and early summer, the Association worked diligently with contractors, inspectors, and city officials to address these matters and ultimately open the pool on July 3.

In addition to the challenges we experienced before opening, we also faced several issues with the City toward the end of the season that created additional obstacles. The Association has remained in communication with all involved parties and continues working toward solutions. We are optimistic that the progress being made now will help address many of the issues that impacted operations this year and improve the process moving forward.

Please note that following Labor Day, pool hours will be:

  • Monday through Friday: 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM
  • Saturday, Sunday, and Holidays: 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM

We appreciate the understanding, patience, and flexibility shown by our residents and pool members throughout a challenging season. Your continued support has been greatly appreciated as we worked through circumstances that were often beyond the Association’s control.

We remain committed to providing a safe, enjoyable, and well-maintained facility for our community. Thank you for your continued support, and we hope you enjoy the remainder of the pool season.

Sincerely,

The Coldspring Community Association Board of Directors
