Significant issues in need of repair have been identified at the Lavington Outdoor Pool.

The District of Coldstream closed the pool Firday, August 22, a week earlier than usual, due to an issue with the facility.

The district said it was discovered that the pool filtration system required “significant repairs,” and the closure was needed in order to avoid any further damage.

“We know this is disappointing news, especially when the last week of the season is expected to be hot and sunny, but addressing the issue now will help avoid a longer closure in the future and ensure the pool remains the high-quality facility that the community has come to expect,” the District of Coldstream said in a release.

Pool users were encouraged to find alternate ways to stay coll during the rest of the summer weather, such as by visiting the area lakes or the Lakeview Park peanut pool and spray park.
