If you are a Hoisington resident and you plan on using the public pool this summer, be on the lookout for the pool form that needs to be filled out and returned to city administration.

Hoisington utility customers pay $3 per month throughout the year that gives them access to the swimming pool without getting charged each time they go to the pool.

Hoisington City Manager Jonathan Mitchell said residents should be seeing the pool forms in their next utility bill.

"We're sending them out in this month's utility bill," said Mitchell. "That will hit most people's mailboxes in late January or early February. If for some reason you don't get one, you can come by the city office and complete a form there."

Residents are also allowed four guest passes. Non Hoisington utility customers and those who did not submit the form will be charged $3 per session. The deadline to submit the pool forms is May 1.

"Last year there was a lot of frustration with the process so this year we're trying to get the forms out earlier," said Mitchell. "We're trying to get the word out so everyone is aware of it. We're encouraging people not to wait until May 1 to turn them in. Turn them in as soon as you get the form so you don't forget it."

Hoisington invested $3 million last summer to replace their pool at Bicentennial Park.
