Public pools ready for summer
With both summer and school holidays around the corner, children may be looking forward to visiting their public pools.
Ekurhuleni metro spokesperson, Sam Modiba, says that the municipality has four outdoor pools in the Boksburg and Vosloorus area.
However, the only two pools that are operational and supervised are those in the Parkdene and Reiger Park area, while the Vosloorus and Van Dyk Park pools are closed.
“The Vosloorus pool is closed due to repairs and the plan is that it will be operational with supervision in December.
“The Van Dyk Park pool was closed after spring water was detected under the pool,” he explains.
“Refurbishment is needed to fix the pool and it has been included in the 2014/15 budget for repairs.”
Parents are advised to accompany their children to the public pools despite the supervision provided by municipality.
