Deep Harbour Pool Improvements in 2017

The Deep Harbour Pool is a centerpiece of our community.  The good news is that attendance was up considerably this season in part due to improved management and oversight.

Much work has been completed in 2017. Under the leadership of Joe R, the pool has been serviced and ready is for next year.  
Many thanks Joe!

In May, the pool opening was almost delayed due to some mechanical issues in the pump house. A frenzy of activity just before Memorial Day overcame multiple problems to pass Health Department inspection before the big weekend.
These included:
- Main pool pump motor replacement
- Sand in filters replaced
- Pipe leaks repaired
- GFI & motor overload electrical circuits upgraded
- Improved housekeeping of Pool House
- Purchase of an automated external defibrillator (AED)

As the season progressed, bids were solicited to re-surface the pool.
Pool surfaces must be re-plastered periodically.  Reserve funds 
are set aside for this purpose. Work was completed in September & October.

In September, other projects were completed:
- Purchase and installation of storage shed to match the design of the pool house
- New pool cover

New pool cover

Shed matches building architecture

Sand filters, pump, and  equipment maintenance improvements

Improvements will continue in 2018.

- The plan is to open the pool for everyday of the week.

- Hopefully, the pool house front office can be re-purposed for community use.

- Of course, better financial management is always on the table.
