Survey Form: Opening of Association Swimming Pools | Mountain Lakes Community Association

Opening of Association Swimming Pools

A member has asked that we send out a survey on the opening of our members' swimming pools.

As of May 18, public pools in South Carolina may open under recommended guidelines from the DHEC (click here). The guidelines refer to non-health care related places of employment and public swimming pools. DHEC has defined all association-owned pools as public even though they are privately owned.
