Asked by Ward 1 Council Member Jake Fee this week if the City of Crookston could potentially use City equipment to flood backyard skating rinks in the winter time, and potentially swimming pools in the summertime in order to be more user-friendly to its residents, council members, department heads and other City officials agreed the cons to offering such a service outweigh the pros.
Instead, everyone expressed an interest in looking into a program that would give people who flood backyard rinks or fill larger swimming pools a break on their water bill at the time they use all of that water.
