"The water filling the pools in Piedmont's new community aquatic complex glistens alluringly in the mid-November sunshine. The all-new facilities - changing rooms, outdoor showers, a lift assist compliant with the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act, a grassy pavilion, ice cream and snacks counter, staff rooms, party rooms and more - are pristine. Behind the scenes, advanced technology hums, whirs, clicks, modulates and self-regulates during testing of the chemical treatment, pumping, filtration and heating systems."
"For people eager to dive in - or walk in via the zero-depth entry at one end of the activity pool - the methodical pace of the project's required commissioning (testing) process feels like slow torture. Even so, most community members seem to agree that reliability and safety must be the municipal pool's priorities, a point emphasized in city reports and a YouTube project-update video featuring City Administrator Rosanna Bayon Moore."
"When Piedmont's new pool opens, it'll be among the first all-electric municipal pools in the country."
Piedmont's new community aquatic complex includes modern amenities such as changing rooms, outdoor showers, an ADA-compliant lift assist, a grassy pavilion, snack facilities, staff rooms and party rooms. Advanced systems manage chemical treatment, pumping, filtration and heating, and those systems undergo isolated testing for functionality. The project follows three required phases: commissioning, systems testing, and operations training. Community eagerness to use the zero-depth activity pool entry is tempered by official emphasis on safety and reliability. The project remains within authorized funding, and the city will announce an opening date after key commissioning milestones are reached.
