Select Board approves $12,000—2,000 pool filter replacement from depreciation funds
Summary
The board authorized replacement/cleaning of pool filter media and ballast at an estimated cost of $12,000—1,300 to be paid from the recreation depreciation fund; motion carried 5'0to'0.
The Select Board approved a recreation department request to replace or rebuild the pool filter media and ballasts at the town pool, at an estimated cost in the $12,000—2,000 range, to be paid from the pool depreciation account.
Recreation Director Mike Rowe described the issue: the pool's sand and ballast have degraded and the filters are returning sand to the pool. A local contractor and longstanding vendor provided a quote of roughly $12,000 to $13,000 to clean and refill the tanks and restore filtration — a job that requires entering small filter tank openings and handling about 1,400 pounds of sand per tank.
The recreation committee recommended proceeding with the depreciation appropriation to complete work before the season. A motion to use depreciation funds carried unanimously, and staff will schedule the service with the town's preferred vendor.
