OGDENSBURG -- Ogdensburg’s municipal pool received a clean inspection after closing for the season that drew more than 6,000 visitors, according to the recreation director.

The Elsa M. Luksich Municipal Pool was inspected by the NYS Department of Health’s Ward Remington on Aug. 17, 2016. According to a report form Ogdensburg Parks and Recreation Director Matthew Curatolo, the inspector reported no major violations but found two minor issues.

The inspector pointed out some peeling paint in a locker room and some rust at the base of the slide.

Curatolo said those issues will be remedied in the spring before the pool opens. He also offered praise for staff members who help maintain and keep watch over the pool.

“I would like to thank Matt Denner Sr., Ronald Spears and Zach Barr for keeping the pool in outstanding working order. I would also like to state that our 26 lifeguards, who are college and high school students, did another wonderful job of providing a safe environment for the public at large and running our various pool programs such as swimming lessons, infant-toddler swim and early bird swim,” Curatolo said in the report.

The pool closed for the summer on Aug. 20 after opening on June 18 and saw a total of 5,917 people of all ages walk through the doors with another 514 using children’s or family passes.

Curatolo said the pool collected $4,297 in revenues for 2016.
