Pool reopening delayed as boiler problems and sanitation checks continue
Summary
Cordova's Parks and Recreation director said the pool currently holds water and is at 81 degrees but remains unsanitized while crews await parts and a reliable boiler run to avoid repeated shutdowns.
The Parks and Recreation Director said the municipal pool is filled and looking "great," but remains closed because sanitation systems and an aging boiler have not operated reliably enough for a safe reopening. "The water is staying in the pool," the Director said, "but it's just not sanitized."
Staff reported that several components of the pool heating and sanitation system, including the heat exchanger, are at or near end of life and that parts have been difficult to obtain. The Director said a contractor is working on the system and has ordered additional parts; staff want to see sustained boiler operation ' roughly a week without auto-shutdown ' before scheduling a formal reopening to avoid turning the system off again.
The Director emphasized the uncertainty around timing and said she could not provide a firm reopening date until parts arrived and the system ran consistently. The department also flagged that repairs and professional services for the pool have been drawn from existing departmental budgets and will be reflected in upcoming financial updates.
