The city of Graettinger will be delaying the POOL opening by one week, with a new opening date set for June 9, 2026. This short delay will allow our hard-working utility crew the time they need to finish storm related cleanup across town.

Our team has been putting in long hours to clear debris, restore services, and keep our community safe. Their dedication is truly something to be proud of, and we are grateful for the steady, positive spirit they bring to every task.

We also want to thank our residents for your outstanding cooperation and patience. Graettinger shines brightest when neighbors support neighbors, and this past week has been a reminder of just how strong our community really is.

We look forward to welcoming everyone to the pool season -and a great summer ahead!
