The Town of Drumheller is moving forward with a closure to the Aquaplex to get the modernization project rolling.    
    In order to move forward with plans to modernize the Drumheller Aquaplex in 2016, the pool basin must be drained to allow for a detailed engineering survey and structural assessment.
Draining of the pool basin will begin on Sunday, March 6th. The resulting closure will ensure that highly accurate measurements are recorded and will save on the future installation of new pool components during the summer of 2016.
    The Town extends thanks to all Aquaplex users that will be affected by the closure between March 6th and March 13th and notes that these dates were selected to ensure that the Aquaplex is available to the public during a busy Easter week.
    Aquaplex staff will be contacting user groups, pass holders and the public to communicate the closure.
    The Town of Drumheller is taking every possible opportunity to limit the duration of the pool closure and will re-open operations at the earliest possible moment. “The Town’s staff will be working diligently to restore service to the Aquaplex as we take action to move pool modernization ahead this year” said Mayor, Terry Yemen.
    The Drumheller Aquaplex has a long history of service to Drumheller and area, with over 85,000 users per year focusing on multi-generational family oriented recreation including an extensive aquatics program.
