Electrical problems close Crystal Lake Pool in Urbana

URBANA – Crystal Lake Pool in north Urbana was closed Monday for the remainder of the season due to concerns about the safety of the pool's electrical system. And the overall future of the 28-year-old pool appears to be in doubt.

The pool at 1503 N. Broadway Ave. was slated to close for the season after this Tuesday, and park district Executive Director Vicki Mayes said she decided Monday morning to order the immediate closure after receiving a draft report from Farnsworth Group of Peoria, an engineering firm, that raised questions about the safety of the pool's electrical system.
