West Rockhill Supervisors place Holiday House pool debt referendum on November ballot
WEST ROCKHILL — The West Rockhill Board of Supervisors Wednesday evening approved a maximum $3 million debt referendum to renovate the Holiday House pool.
The move follows the completion of a marketing study, which concluded that the 55-year-old pool, a joint venture of West Rockhill and Sellersville Borough, is approaching the end of its life span. The study projected renovation costs at $1 to $3 million.
The project would cost the average household $129 per year, a 56% property tax increase. If split by Sellersville, the cost would amount to $70 per household. Supervisor Hal Schirmer suggested that residents could be reimbursed with discounted pool memberships.
While the referendum is non-binding, the board said that the outcome will inform its decision on the matter.
