You may have noticed blue and white signs popping up in Leavenworth’s residential areas stating “Be Cool-Support the Pool!”, as the property tax levy that runs every six years to support operation of the facility is coming up on the August 7^th ballot.  The City pool in Leavenworth provides a fun and safe place to cool off, for both locals and visitors, and offers swim lessons, water aerobics classes, lap swimming and kayak roll sessions.

The Upper Valley & Recreation Service Area (PRSA), operators of the pool, is asking voters to approve a slight increase in the tax amount to a total of 11 cents per thousand for the next six years, an amount that will cost taxpayers a total of $18.30 per $100,000 home, an over the previous amount of $14.80 per $100,000.
