“Critical failure” in Coaldale pool to be fixed while council decides on long-term solution
COALDALE, AB – The people of Coaldale will be able to swim in the outdoor pool again.
In early July, staff found a “critical failure” in the pool’s filtration system, which forced the Town to shut it down for the rest of the summer.
Seven options were presented to town council in September that ranged from doing nothing to spending $25-million on a large, full-scale indoor facility.
After they consulted the community on how to proceed, Mayor Kim Craig said there was no real consensus on which option was the best, so they decided to go with the most affordable one that would still allow people to go for a swim.
