Town of Drumheller crews have been working hard this week to get the outdoor pool open. However, the inspection and maintenance program, which takes place prior to seasonal operation, has identified at least one leak in one of the pipes.
The crews are now working on exposing the leaking pipe and checking for other leaks. Once all the leaking spots have been identified and the pipes repaired, the pool will then be filled and tested ready to open up to the public.
“We recognize the inconvenience that the delay in the outdoor pool will cause and we want to apologize for the delay,” outlined Armia Mikhaeil Director of Infrastructure. “Crews are working hard to fix the issues and we hope get the pool open as soon as possible for everyone to enjoy”.
“In addition, tests carried out for the preparation to get the fountain operational showed that there is a significant amount of water loss occurring,” added Julia Fielding, Economic Development and Communications Officer for the Town of Drumheller. “This indicates one or several leaking points and so crews are currently working with an engineering firm to come up with a solution. Unfortunately, it may be the fountain will not be operational this summer.”
