New refrigeration approved

LEAMINGTON — Leamington Council has approved a tender for $105,563 to replace the current two-plate and frame refrigeration system at the Nature Fresh Fresh Farms Recreation Centre with a new one-plate model.

Facility Manager Terry Symons recommended that council approve the bid put forth by Berg Chilling Systems, which was the lowest of two bids submitted.

The new system will allow for more efficient maintenance and will improve overall safety, according to Symons. It will also drastically reduce the amount of ammonia held in the system and will not affect ice quality in the two arena pads.

Council unanimously voted to support the recommendation by Symons and work will get underway soon.
