The impact of Tropical Storm Ida is visible in Emmaus Community Pool, 1356 Shimerville Road, Sept. 2. Stormwater fills the main and children's pools. “The pool was damaged by the storm, but luckily not to the extent of previous floods. We were able to quickly empty and clean the pool, which really helped,” Emmaus Borough Manager Shane Pepe replied in an email to The Press. “We were able to proactively turn everything off and plug the system, so we don't believe it made it into the filtration system.” The children's pool pump, however, was flooded and likely damaged.
