In response to a letter to the Editor from Ms. Muriel Buss, regarding Article 20 for the new swimming pool at Wasserman Park. The money for the pool will be coming out of surplus, not added taxes to the fine people of Merrimack. I have been paying the town of Bedford for swimming lessons and for the use of their swimming pool for the last two years. It is my understanding that their pool is maintained and funded by the cost of the swimming lessons and the fee to use the pool.
Fees are different for non-residents and residents.
We would be putting our money back into our town. Ms. Buss asked the questions about upkeep, qualified lifeguards, etc. I would like her and others to know that all of the above have been at the lake and the existing pool for years. Therefore, there would be no added cost. My neighbor had all three of her children in swimming lessons last year at Wasserman Park.
