After months of repairs, the Penticton Community Centre's leisure pool is finally back in action.

The pool was reopened today after being closed in July for annual maintenance and a tile replacement project.

The work began because the new tiles were too slippery, and pool users were slipping and falling. That led to the discovery the pool's water level had fallen mysteriously. Cracked pipes were found beneath the pool.

Work to rectify the problem was extended several times.

“We know how much the community values the Penticton Community Centre services, especially those for children, and we want to thank everyone for their patience as these necessary repairs were completed,” said Mayor Andrew Jakubeit.
