Cedar City reopens community pool after in-house repair
Summary
City staff and volunteers repaired a cracked return fitting at the Aquatic Center; staff reported the pool is reopened after three months of closure and credited public-works crews and community volunteers.
Marcy Burrell, Aquatic Center staff, reported that the pool’s broken return fitting has been repaired and the facility is back open. Staff described a pressured return line made from schedule‑40 pipe that developed a cracked fitting; crews replaced the fitting, backfilled with pea gravel and will complete a final slurry and concrete cap as follow-up work.
Burrell thanked multiple in-house departments (aquatics, parks, water, wastewater, streets, facility maintenance and engineering) and volunteer vendors who helped with material and labor. Facilities staff noted they consulted with the original pool builder (CEM) for repair guidance and adjusted the backfill approach after on-site input.
Council members asked technical follow-ups about pipe materials and placed a short list of final tasks for staff to finish. The pool’s re-opening will allow high-school meets and region competitions to continue.
Ending: Staff will finish the final slurry and concrete cap work and report if additional warranty or testing steps are needed.
