Penrith City Council has welcomed patrons back to the Ripples St Marys indoor pool which is now fully functional during the winter months.
After experiencing a significant failure of the filtering system and loss of pool water, Council says it has been busy working on providing the best, one-of-a-kind technology to enable its operations for many years to come.
The extensive work included the renewal of filter cells and isolation valves, the installation and replacement of pipework to the ballast tank below and above ground floor of the plant room, pool shell refilling and installing a new pool well to assist in backflow circulation.
Another significant milestone was achieved during the closure, with the addition of an adult accessible changing room, providing greater access for the community.
Mayor, Todd Carney said the reopening of the indoor pool along with the fantastic improvements undertaken overall improves the facility for all members and visitors.
“The essential upgrades completed at St Marys ensures the ongoing safety and maintenance of the pool, particularly with the new capabilities behind the scenes, enabling the operation of the indoor pool to function appropriately,” Mayor Carney said.
“The work did take some time to complete, and I want to thank patrons for their patience in allowing us to carry out the installation of this new and improved water maintenance systems.
“By doing so, it allows any future work to have little to no disruption to plant operations which is a wonderful outcome for our Ripples community.”
