NEWBURGH- The City of Newburgh announced that the Delano-Hitch Aquatic Center will reopen on Sunday, July 19, at 8 a.m., resuming its regular operating schedule after a one-day closure.

The pool will remain closed on Saturday, July 18, because of forecasted thunderstorms and unhealthy air quality reported by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

City officials said the decision was made out of an abundance of caution, citing concerns for public safety, weather conditions and event logistics.

The City thanked residents and visitors for their patience and understanding and encouraged patrons to return when the facility reopens Sunday morning.
