The swimming pool in Washington Street, Langa will get R250 000 facelift before opening for the summer season.
Councillor Brian Watkyns raised questioned about the unacceptable conditions at the municipal swimming pool. Now the City will seal the swimming pool walls, provide brick paving around the pool and install facilities for the disabled. Also, the pool’s water filtering system has been fixed and the budget provides for the lawns around the pool to be mowed once a month.
"These upgrades are part of our commitment to render equal services to all our communities, and its hoped that this pool will become the benchmark for other municipal pools instead of being one that we are ashamed of," says Councillor Watkyns.
Because the refurbishment can only start in October during drier weather, the pool will open a month later than the other municipal pools.
