Kawakawa pool temporarily closed for maintenance

The heated public swimming pool at the ASB Recreation Centre at the Bay of Islands College at Kawakawa has been closed temporarily for essential filtration repairs.

Far North District Council Recreation Manager Vaughan Cruickshank said today contractors were working on the problem and it was anticipated the emergency maintenance work would be completed within a few days.

"The filtration problem has arisen at an unfortunate time with schools currently on holiday. Because it involves the filtration system, there has been no alternative but to temporarily close the pool," he said.

Every effort was being made to get the pool operational again as quickly as possible.
