When BONUS asked her what the problem was, she explained that the municipality had just advertised a tender for the repair and maintenance of all the municipal pools.
“The two pools are closed due to pumps which aren’t functioning, we are also awaiting the finalisation of the supply chain processes which are unfolding to repair the closed pools,” she explained.
She also added that the pools will be reopened as soon as a contractor has been appointed and new pumps installed at the two swimming pools. The public will be informed on the opening.
“We apologise for any inconveniences caused to the public and urge them to be patient,” she concluded.
