An issue with the pool’s recirculation and filtration system is the cause for the closure. Preliminary tests have showed the pool’s filters do not currently pass health regulations. “We had to close it due to public health regulations until we can do something to repair it or find out exactly what the issue is,” said Nicole Hartman, recreation director for the City of Flin Flon. “It’s what keeps the water clean and disinfected. It’s circulating it through a filter and chlorinating it. Ours isn’t working properly, so the water isn’t being disinfected properly.” To fix the problem, the Willowvale pool’s existing base may need to be jackhammered. The pipes and filters that make up the recirculation and filtration system are located under the pool’s concrete deck.

Tom Wolf’s newest mitigation orders were announced Thursday night, restaurant owners, operators and staff across the commonwealth cringed as they heard the latest impact on their industry: indoor dining was going to be shut down as of 12:01 a.m. on Dec. 12, and would not return until Jan. 4.
