(Atlantic, Iowa) – Atlantic Splash Pad Fundraising Committee Chairman Jeremy Butler, Thursday, said it’s likely the project will not be completed by Labor Day, as hoped. Butler said a combination of factors, including heavy rain this past Spring, supply chain issues and other delays – both expected and unexpected – means the project won’t be finished before cooler weather sets-in. The completion date is now expected to take place next spring.

Grading for the splash pad is done, Butler said, and the rock base for the concrete and plumbing is installed. It’s expected the pad concrete will be poured the week of August 12th, weather permitting.
