The Latham Lap Pool remains temporarily closed through October 30th following an equipment failure that occurred late last week.

Township staff worked with the pool installer and project team to identify the problem and have completed the repairs and are now preparing for a final inspection today. It was determined that there was a mechanical problem with one of the components of the pump direct from the manufacturer that caused a pump seal failure. The part has been replaced under warranty, and the Latham Lap Pool will reopen for regularly scheduled programming on Saturday, October 31st.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Members of the public are encouraged to check the Township’s website and social media channels for the most up-to-date information on pool operations and programming schedules.
