Flooding Forces Cedar Beach Pool to Close Again

From Allentown: Floodwaters from Cedar Creek are forcing the closing of Allentown’s Cedar Beach Pool for the second time this summer.

 

Floodwaters reached the pool at about 12:30 this afternoonThe city will re-assess the situation after the water recedes.

 

Cedar Pool was closed due to flooding on Saturday, August 4.  It re-opened on Friday, August 10 after it had been drained, cleaned, refilled and passed water quality testing.

  1. This has happened before and will continue when the area has large rainfalls. The best fix is to raise the existing dike that protests the pool to the level of Ott St and to extend it beyond the pool.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
