RECREATION FUND PROJECTS

Capital Project: Recreation Center Lap Pool Boiler

DESCRIPTION

This project will replace the lap pool boiler at the Recreation Center.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION

The boiler which serves the lap pool has had multiple issues that have impacted its expected useful life, and it needs to be replaced. A previous major failure took the boiler out of service for several months while replacement parts could be found. The lap pool is a key feature of the Recreation Center and cannot be out of service for so long. This planned replacement will get new boilers in place before another failure. The replacement will include two boilers that can operate on a lead/lag cycle to increase their useful life and allow the pool to continue to operate if one needs maintenance.

Town Strategic Goals Achieved

Support an Active Community

The pool at the Recreation Center is a high use feature. From children, to lap swimmers, to silver sneaker activities, the pool allows community members of all ages to stay active.

Enhance Economic Vitality

The pool is a key feature that attracts and retains members to the Recreation Center. Having a two-boiler system will benefit the long-range use of this feature and provides for redundancy of the system.

Foster Community Creativity and Engagement

The pool is used heavily for therapeutic recreation programs, which enhances the quality of life for individuals with disabilities through participation in adaptive programming.
