Aqua happy Drumhellerites will have to wait just a little longer for the Aquaplex indoor pool to re-open.
The pool has been closed since November 4 and was due to be opened on January 18. However, there have been some issues with the filtration system.
According to Mayor Terry Yemen, a technician was schedule to do an assessment on Thursday, January 16.
However, fixing the pool involves lowering the water to get to the filter, making the repairs, refilling the pool, bringing it up to temperature, and making sure the equipment is up to Provincial standards.
“Two of the lateral pipes broke in the filtration system, allowing sand in the system to go back into the pool.”
The pool has been closed since November 4 .
Yemen anticipates the pool will be up and running for swimmers next week.
