"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. Describing progress made and next steps to complete three required phases the commissioning process, systems testing, and operations training Moore notes near the end of the presentation (youtu.be/6D_xUO7vCC8?si=47bGBrUYvMlCcRlY) that When Piedmont's new pool opens, it'll be among the first all-electric municipal pools in the country."
"The city has yet to provide a specific opening date but reports that work is moving steadily forward and that the project remains within its authorized funding. In an interview, city communications officer Echa Schneider says the opening is dependent on the commission process. As we reach key milestones, we'll keep the community updated about the progress. We will let people know about the opening date as soon as we're able."
The new Piedmont community aquatic complex includes modern amenities such as changing rooms, outdoor showers, an ADA-compliant lift, a grassy pavilion, concessions, staff rooms and party rooms. Advanced equipment for chemical treatment, pumping, filtration and heating has been installed and is undergoing a methodical commissioning process. The project requires three phases: commissioning, systems testing, and operations training. Chemical treatment, pumping and filtration systems have passed isolated testing, while the heating system required further attention during testing. No specific opening date has been set; work remains within authorized funding and updates will follow as milestones are reached. The pool will be among the first all-electric municipal pools in the country.
