Pool hours extended today and tomorrow--Yosemite is being repaired

Due to the heat wave Massaro and AF Veteran pools will be open till 8 PM tonight and tomorrow.  Yosemite spray area (in back of Theodore Young Community Center) was out of service today. It's being repaired and hopefully will be fixed tomorrow.  

YOSEMITE SPRAY AREA BEING REPAIRED  ---All the piping has been repaired today. It needs a day for the glue to set up. Tomorrow we will install the new circuit board and hopefully it will all be working by tomorrow morning.

Just to inform all involved, someone turned on the valve from the main building in the park that feeds the spraypad and damaged the pipes.  That is the reason for the repair work that is being done today. The circuit board which was the original issue has arrived and as stated above will be installed first thing in the morning.
