Heated indoor pool will be closed for three days to replace ceiling

Forbes heated pool will be closed for three days next week while the ceiling is replaced, Forbes Shire Council has advised.

This work is to replace all ceiling spaces badly impacted by the condensation issue that has affected the pool in recent months, the council has advertised on its Facebook page.

A condensation expert was consulted and the issues have since been addressed: works have now increased air input and airflow in the plant room, and there are new louvre windows in the main part of the facility.

The indoor pool facility will close to members from Monday, August 5 to Wednesday, August 7.

The pool will reopen to members on Thursday, August 8.

The heated pool was built with community-raised funds in the 1960s.

It's now under council management, with some major upgrades as well as flood repairs carried out in the past few years.

Forbes Shire Council appreciates members' patience during these works.
