Pool Maintenance and Renovations
Our pool was constructed fifty years ago when Fort Johnson Estates was a new neighborhood. The last few years have seen major renovations and we estimate that $150,000 will be required to bring the facility back to new condition. For example, we've rewired and replaced the flood lights on the the 2 light towers, renovated the bathhouse by replacing the roof, refinishing the floors, and painting the interior, upgraded the pool filtration system, increased return flow to the pool by adding an additional water line that feeds the deep end, resurfaced the plaster that lines the entire pool, and reconstructed the main drains to eliminate leaks. If all goes well, the next several years will see renovations to the pool deck, tile, and coping.
The current pool membership fees are based on recovering depreciation costs on a realistic schedule. We don't expect to recover depreciation immediately, but over a period of years. Our goal is to maintain the pool in the best possible condition at the minimum cost to members. We also recognize that a well maintained neighborhood pool is an asset to every property owner in Fort Johnson Estates.

The Ft. Johnson Estates Pool Corporation was dissolved prior to the 2015 Annual Meeting and is now a committee of the Civic Club. The pool is maintained with the effort and hard work of the volunteer Pool Committee (Members listed below) which meets monthly to discuss maintenance and operation of the pool during the summer swim season and in the off-season. The following former Civic Club board members have agreed to remain as Pool Committee members for the 2021 season...
