The city of Tomball's public pool opened for its summer season June 2 at Jerry Matheson Park, located at 1240 Ulrich Road, Tomball.
The pool is limited to 25% capacity to comply with Gov. Greg Abbott's mandates relating to COVID-19, Public Works Director Beth Jones said.
To comply with 25% occupancy, staff is counting guests as they come into the pool. If 25% occupancy is reached, guests could be turned away temporarily, Jones said, but the pool will maintain a 50-minute swim period followed by a 10-minute adult swim period, during which time there is turnover in attendees.
During the pandemic, the city also deploys a sanitizing fogger throughout the restrooms periodically as well as the benches and picnic table to keep the pool area clean, Jones said.
