The Town of Drumheller has closed the slide at the Aquaplex to facilitate repairs.
The pump in the slide stopped working and needs to be replaced. It has been decided to take this opportunity to upgrade the pump so it works better with the new pool system. Unfortunately this upgraded pump is not available locally which will delay the opening of the slide.
“It is very unfortunate that this happened as we were beginning to enjoy the new facility.” outlined Darryl Drohomerski, CAO of the Town of Drumheller, “however we are making the most of the opportunity and upgrading the pump to make the systems work more efficiently moving forward.”
“We appreciate it is very frustrating for visitors and we will work at getting the slide open as soon as possible,” added Armia Mikhaiel, Director of Infrastructure. “We thank people for their patience and are aiming to have the slide open by the end of April.”
