Act Now on San Antonio Pools Health Risk
Eight months after a city health board survey urged immediate action, Park Commissioner Jacob Rubiola has not implemented recommendations to chlorinate and fence two pools. The Junior Chamber of Commerce backed a new bid, proposing fencing and chlorination costing about $16,000, with no net city expense if fees replace the outlay. Mothers and fathers want safe pools and would support a small usage fee to ensure contamination-free facilities.
