In view of June 22nd, Saturday, we can only hope that the weather will be favorable and ensure sun and heat, indispensable conditions for the first summer dip in the swimming pool, at the facility in via Manara which will reopen its outdoor space on Saturday . Posters announcing the restart have also appeared around the city. The city “sea” to the joy of the many visitors who in the last year have had to deal with a problematic situation determined by the management of the Spanish company with which the due to non-compliance, the municipal administration terminated the contract early and in recent days it is undergoing the final interventions necessary to restart the activity respecting the scheduled date, June 22nd.

Everything must be in place by Saturday, but in order to start the summer season, various maintenance works were necessary, for a total expense of 83 thousand euros, for which at the end of May the city council approved the ratification of the budget change emergency, useful for the arrangement of the external area of ​​the Manara swimming pool and other small interventions on the structure.

The urgency of the measure was dictated precisely by the need to carry out the interventions in time for the summer opening and to not deprive citizens of an essential service.
