COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—Public swimming pools in Colorado Springs will close at the end of the year after a public-private partnership to manage some of the facilities ends.
The Gazette reports that city officials are scrambling to keep the pools open ( ). The pools are now operated by Swim Colorado Inc., but the company will cease management Dec. 30.
Swim Colorado has operated the pools for more than a year. In 2010, the city had planned to close its pools to save cash. For an up-front payment, Swim Colorado took over management.
A city spokeswoman said the agreement has ended but did not elaborate. She said the city will seek a way to reopen the swimming pools.
