PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT (PSD): PROJECT of the WEEK The storm water department hosted creek clean-up week as they patrolled up and down Manitou’s creeks picking up debris and freeing water flow by removing limbs from a recent wind storm that hit our area. The clean-up was accomplished with the help of 40+ 5th graders from right here in Manitou. This goes to show you, you’re never too young to start caring about your community. The actions of the department enhances the environment of our city for thousands of visitors who visit every day. Their efforts and can-do attitude reflect great credit on the Public Works Department and the City of Manitou Springs. (Photo below).

Staff has been working diligently on the detail cleaning around the facility. The women's showers are finally done, the curing process took properly this time and patrons are happy that the showers are open! The adult spa boiler continues to be serviced and everyone is (not-so) patiently waiting for the Adult Spa to be available again. Parkeys is scheduled for maintenance next week. The pool hosted the annual Puppy Pool Party last Sunday, raising over $300 – matching last year’s event. Staff decided to host an encore to the event, giving us an opportunity to increase attendance and encourage others to join the fun!
