In recent years, the metal underground supply <br />piping that served both the dive well and the lap pool had deteriorated to the point of failure, resulting in the loss of <br />significant amounts of heated and treated pool water as it circulated from the <br />filters and pumps in the mechanical room to the pools. The dive well branch <br />failed in 2006 and, by 2011, the lap pool supply line had also begun to fail, <br />leaking 8,000 gallons a day. <br /> <br />The Facility Management Division is overseeing a project to replace the supply <br />system, including separating the piping to the two pools, as required by code, <br />so that each pool has its own supply lines and filtration system, as well as <br />replacing the gutter system with a stainless steel system. This design required <br />less excavation than replacing the supply lines below the pool shell and limited <br />the amount of concrete deck that needed to be removed and replaced. <br />Underwater pool lighting was also replaced and now meets current code <br />requirements. <br /> <br />The work was to be completed by Sept. 20, and the pool was to be re-opened <br />on Oct. 15; but, due to manufacturer delays in producing the gutters, the <br />projected opening date has been delayed to Oct. 22. The project is funded <br />from the General Capital Projects Fund.
