🚨 Pool Crisis Alert
Fire destroys Rossland Outdoor Pool boiler in June 2025 🔥
The remaining aging boiler is at high risk of complete failure - meaning no pool in 2026 unless Council acts now.
Council is deciding on a $39,300 emergency replacement project to ensure the pool can safely operate next season.
Will residents have access to their outdoor pool in 2026?
🔥 June 2025: Mechanical failure caused fire in pool's mechanical room
💥 One of two boilers completely destroyed in the blaze
⚠️ Pool operated through 2025 season on remaining boiler only
🔧 Can't just replace damaged boiler - too difficult to integrate new parts with aging system
⚡ Operating with only one old boiler = high risk of total system failure
🔥 Replace BOTH boilers with new Hayward H400FDN units (400,000 BTU each)
💰 Main Plumbing & Heating quote: $31,800 + taxes
🔧 Additional City labor & supplies: ~$7,500
💵 Total project cost: $39,300
⏰ Work scheduled for fall 2025, ready for 2026 season
Should Council approve spending $39,300 in taxpayer funds to replace both pool boilers and ensure safe operation in 2026?
