Plans are now underway to begin repairs to InuvikSA国际影视传媒檚 public pool, but the town is warning not to expect anything until at least September.

Senior Adminstrative Officer Grant Hood updated Town Council during their May 10 committee of the whole meeting, and followed up with a public service announcement posted to the townSA国际影视传媒檚 website May 12.

SA国际影视传媒淐ovid-19 is throwing its ugly head into this as well,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淭hereSA国际影视传媒檚 certain, supplies itSA国际影视传媒檚 one of the plastic items and injection moulding and things like that have been drastically hit in the U.S. because of Covid-19 but also the Texas electricity issue that they had earlier.

SA国际影视传媒淭here are a few items that um we are working on trying to get but I would say we are looking at at least September. I wouldnSA国际影视传媒檛 want to guess at anything earlier than that. But we are full steam ahead.SA国际影视传媒�

Noting the pool has suffered from numerous issues over the past few years, the notice outlines the work needed to be finished before the pool could re-open to the public.

Under the plan, the entire current piping system is to be completely replaced. Instead, piping will be installed along the pool walls. The height of the pool wall at the SA国际影视传媒渓azy riverSA国际影视传媒� section of the pool will be raised for safety purposes. The pool liner is also at the end of its life and will need to be replaced.

Hood noted part of the issue now was supply chain problems, as the pandemic shuttered warehouses and factories across North America and the swimming pool economy was struggling to keep up with demand. Consequentially, he estimated the work would not be complete until at least September.

SA国际影视传媒淲e are waiting on one test that has to be completed and again due to issues with Covid-19 that test has been delayed,SA国际影视传媒� said Hood. SA国际影视传媒淪o some areas canSA国际影视传媒檛 move forward until that is completed.SA国际影视传媒�

One thing the town does have in good supply, however, are chlorine pucks SA国际影视传媒� which are used to keep the water sanitized. Since the pool was closed at the beginning of the pandemic, town staff have been stockpiling their reserves of chlorine, which is also currently experiencing a global shortage.

Public works director Rick Campbell said the town would be hording the pucks for when the town goes back into operation.

SA国际影视传媒淭hatSA国际影视传媒檚 wonderful news,SA国际影视传媒� said Coun. Ray Solotki. SA国际影视传媒淲hen it is ready to go we arenSA国际影视传媒檛 stuck because the rest of the supply chain has broken down, so thatSA国际影视传媒檚 good.SA国际影视传媒�
