Swimming pools are a very big part of Atlanta, and A LOT of people are concerned about the possibility of them not opening this summer. Jason,

Pools are a concern though; they are meant to be filled with water or their structure could become compromised. In hindsight, I wish we had not purchased a home with a pool when we bought our last home over ten years ago. But today is today and we are pool owners as well as home and property owners. If I had had access to information like this ten years ago, I would have bought a home without a pool. This is good information for people to be aware of.

Most rain in several months. If this becomes a trend, then the drought could be easing, but otherwise it looks bad this summer.
