They probably are questioning the same thing that I am. Does the pool water have to be this hot? And I'm not talking about just now in this heat wave. Is it just the weather and the sun? Or the combination of the heated pool in the summer and the sun and the heat? If I wanted to take a bath or be in hot bath water, I would just stay home and take a bath or get into my hot tub. Out of all the pools in the villages, it sure would be nice if there was one that was refreshing to swim in. And there are at least a few others here in the villages that agree, it seems.

You're right Cassie but I don't believe the heaters are used in the summer.....they are used when temps drop to the 60's and 70's in the cooler months. When you have the heat we experience here nature naturally heats the water. I don't know what chillers cost but I don't know that the District would have the funds budgeted short term. As I posted earlier, I think it would also end up as a PWC project and not a local CDD project. I also agree that there are others that would agree with you, but I also suspect there are others that won't.....kinda like the striping issue. There are users on both sides of the discussion and each side has their opinion of what the priorities should be.
