The Farmer City pool could be shut down for the year after more issues arose recently.

On the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, Farmer City Manager Sue McLaughlin told Regional Radio they encountered a leak in the pool and also an issue of kids getting their feet cut up by leftover plaster from it being repaired this spring.

While City leadership wants to provide the opportunity for the pool to be used by the community, McLaughlin indicates it is a service that loses the City money at a clip of about $1,000 a day.

McLaughlin is trying to base her decision on what the community wants and will touch base with the City Council.

The City earlier in the spring faced the challenge of finding a manager for the pool. Last summer, Farmer City partnered with the YMCA in Clinton to run the operations of the pool but that partnership did not last. 

The City hired a manager earlier this spring and McLaughlin notes they parted ways with that person.
