Pool fees going up
Wednesday, September 26, 2018 by Katy McElroy
Effective Oct. 1, Austinites will pay a little more to use city aquatics facilities. The Parks and Recreation Department estimates the fee increase will raise over $1 million in additional revenue. This money will be used toward general maintenance and operations, as well as upgrades and repairs to the existing facilities, as per City Council direction following the approval of the Aquatic Master Plan.
