Honorable City Council President Honorable City Council Members 714 Ridge Rd. Lackawanna, NY 14218 Honorable Members of City Council: As the weather is getting warmer, I wanted to advise you of the costs running the splash pad last season. We did encounter a leak last year which was repaired and the splash pad was opened the day after the leak was fixed. These costs encompass the 2025 season, which crossed over 2 fiscal years. As use of the splash pad is weather dependent we do not have an opening date. Water & Electric $24,212.85 Staff $13,053.30 Repairs & winterize $4,860.39 Also, be advised we have installed fencing around the splash pad which will allow the playground area to be opened when the splash pad is not.
