Pool Update
As mentioned in the earlier pool announcement, this upcoming week will be much of the same as this week in terms of pool construction. Loud noises, due to demolition and removal of concrete, will continue the week of September 18. Unfortunately, the noise and disruption will be inevitable and unavoidable due to the nature of the work.
Demolition work is expected over the next two weeks. Following the removal of the concrete decking, American Pool will start removing the piping underneath the pool. It will be a noisy fall, but this work is crucial for ensuring the long-term functioning of the pool. In addition, work hours are still applicable to the contractor, so please let our office know if there are any violations of our town code, or work being performed outside of the regular hours. The Town has established a working group to oversee construction, monitor the progress of the project, and meet with the contractors on a regular basis to ensure that there are as few disruptions as possible, while completing the work in a timely manner. Councilmembers Kabir Kumar, Debbie Heller, Pool Committee Chair Matt Zaft, and myself are all in regular contact with American Pool and the project manager on their side. Please do not hesitate to contact any of us with questions or concerns regarding the project.
In addition, as mentioned last week, the path to the woods directly adjacent to the pool will remain closed throughout construction. There is another access point to the woods from the pool parking lot that will be unaffected by the construction work. Similarly, the Marnie Shaul trail to Friendship Heights remains accessible.
We will be working with American Pool to complete construction as safely and as efficiently as possible, with the aim of opening the pool without delay in 2024. Thank you in advance for your patience during construction, and your cooperation in helping the work continue as efficiently and safely as possible.
