The initial permit was turned down.

Some of the conditions require that “Slide the City” buy water from the City, and use less water for re-circulation rather than the “run through” method. A County Pool Inspector will be on site to ensure water cleanliness and health safety.

*If the City is in a serious drought stage during the planned event then the permit is denied and the event will not be held.
