IT IS WITH REGRET THAT THE CITY OF AVOCA MUST INFORM THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE DELAY IN OPENING THE 2023 POOL SEASON

Regional Water’s low level water supply has paused our Aquatic Center preparations.

 As of now, the Aquatic Center WILL NOT be opening over the Memorial Day weekend. 

Our goal is to open the first weekend in June, as we continue to fill the pool properly, check all pumps and get the chemicals calibrated.
