RED HOOK, Brooklyn (WABC) -- Some residents in Brooklyn can soon wave goodbye to a long, hot summer with the reopening of a neighborhood outdoor pool.

The Red Hook Pool on Bay Street is set to reopen at 11 a.m. on Sunday after a months-long shutdown for repairs.

Just days before it was scheduled to open, the New York City Parks Department discovered a broken drain pipe in the century-old pool. Since then, crews have been making necessary, extensive repairs so that the pool is ready for swimmers.

New York City outdoor pools officially opened for the summer season on June 27.
