Residents of Orangeville are getting their pool back.
The Alder Rec Centre Pool will be reopening after many delays in its renovations.
Officials say based on the current construction schedule, they’ve set an opening date for September.
The challenges they faced during the project were mainly due to supply chain issues, with the town saying a lot of materials are needed to built the large stainless steel pool basin, and are brought in from all over the world.
The new pool will feature an improved the lap pool, a new concept for the leisure pool, an indoor splash pad, and a water slide.
Other facts about the new pools:
• A new state-of-the-art filtration system is being installed that will be 90-95 per cent more efficient than traditional filters. This means we only need to backwash once a month and never have to change filter media.
• The basin is made from 100 per cent stainless steel.
• A new chloramine exhaust system will be installed that pulls chloramines directly from the pool perimeter. This system means the smell of chlorine in the air will be greatly reduced.
• High-efficiency filtration means the pool will be a net zero product within a few years of operation and the initial installation will have over 90 per cent less of a carbon footprint than traditional pools
A new addition will include the opportunity to rent the pool area for birthday parties. It will also be the proud home to the Orangeville Otters Swim Club.
