Keller ISD Natatorium Closure and Repair Funding
Keller
Summary
The city-owned natatorium is closed due to a failing filter system and costly repairs, displacing hundreds of competitive swimmers and families who travel long distances to alternative pools. Residents are asking the city to partner with the school district and Lakeside Aquatic Club to fund repairs, while council members debate fairness, regional contributions from neighboring cities, and the terms of the $10-per-year lease.
