CHENEY – Work on the municipal pool is continuing following demolition.
“Demolition of the pool is complete,” pool renovation project manager Dan Curley said last week.
He went on to describe the meticulous process that unfolded during the demolition phase, which involved heavy equipment operators on-site, diligently working to dismantle the structure.
Multiple trucks were employed to haul away the debris, ensuring a thorough cleanup, he said.
Curley noted the demolition phase of the project did not encounter any unforeseen challenges thanks to the careful planning and execution by the demolition team.
That planning took into account the persistent presence of a high water table beneath the deep end of the pool, he said.
“The deep end of the pool has historically battled high surface water beneath it,” Curley said. “The demolition contractor was tasked with removing that water, and even as they kept pumping it out, the water level kept recharging and building back up.”
“Our goal is to have a contractor in place in June of 2024 and open the facility in June of 2025,” he said.
