Cheney Parks and Rec said on its Facebook page that on Sunday morning, staff arrived to see the system was not operational. Initially, it was thought to be a broken pipe, but further examination revealed that the damage was worse than what they expected. “While we had hoped to be able to repair the damage to open the pool for another season, it was not meant to be,” they said on their Facebook page, adding that they have decided to close the pool.
