Additionally, three cooling centers will be open in the event that the public needs a place to come indoors and cool off.
“We want to help you beat the heat! With the forecast calling for extreme oppressive heat, we invite our residents to enjoy some fun family time and make the Town pool facilities their backyards away from home,” said Supervisor Saladino. “Our Town pools and beaches are a staycation destination for residents of all ages and that especially holds true during high temperatures like those estimated for this coming week.”
