County officials resolved opening delays at the Graniteville pool after about $15,000 in repairs. Sanders praised John Wade Plumbing for rapid pump and electrical fixes, while noting the aging site needs replacement with estimate costs of 250000 for a new pool and 150000 for a bath house. A plan to spend up to 500000 could make the facility year round, though current use is limited to 16 weeks.
