Homeowners and swimmers, using the Dunbarton Pool, would like their pool open until October 31st. The weather is warm and is forecast to remain beautiful swim weather through the end of October.
Fall is a busy time in real estate. Access to homeowner recreational swimming and tennis are important incentives when homes are up for sale. It would be difficult to convince a potential buyer that Campus Commons is a special place to live (and worth the extra investment) if all the recreational amenities have been stripped bare in the interest of saving a few dollars.
Many buyers would opt for a single family home over condominium living if not for the recreational amenities. Unheated swimming pools are evidence of declining prestige. Pool maintenance (filtering, chlorination and regular cleaning) is still necessary, even if unheated. It doesn´t cost much more to keep one small pool open April 1st through the end of October.
Sacramento has weather favorable for a longer swimming season. Homeowners, who swim to maintain health and fitness, need their pool and adjoining spa heated from April 1st through October 31st. It´s a waste of first class facilities to abandon them most of the year.
The Tattler would like to add that the lights in the Dunbarton pool and spa have not been installed to date, even though Nepenthe promised to address the problem by September 30th. Of course, the year was not mentioned.
