The Farmer City Pool has had quite a journey over the last few years - from leaks and pump issues to staffing, it's time for some new plans. 

Farmer City City Manager Taylor Baxter explains while the community pool has seen its struggles the past few years, the city is committed to providing a quality and fun space for residents. 

Baxter notes they will continue their partnership with the Clinton YMCA to certify anyone interested in becoming a lifeguard. The pool will also have a new manager this season. 

This year, the city is trying to get ahead of any issues that may arise. Baxter notes this may be easier said than done. 

The Farmer City Pool is located at 605 N. John Street in Farmer City, and they plan to open Memorial Day Weekend.
