Swimmers who frequent the W.C. Blair Recreation Centre will have to find another pool to use this fall.
The Murrayville facility will be shut down from Sept. 10 to mid January 2018, to allow for pool deck and change room upgrades.
Part of the work will consist of replacing the pool tank tile and setting materials, which were originally installed when the building was constructed in 1986. Over the years, the tank has undergone some minor repairs, including re-grouting of the bottom surface in 2005 and the shallow end in 2010.
The pool tank upgrade is estimated to cost $550,000.
