City of Burlington issued the following announcement on Sept. 5.
The Maynard Aquatic Center (the MAC) will be closing September 10 for some fairly extensive repairs and ADA upgrades.
Current MAC memberships will be extended for an amount of time equal to the length of the closure. Members may also use the Alamance County Community YMCA for lap swimming free of charge during this period.
Construction will be completed over two phases. In phase one, the pool shell will be repaired and replastered, new stainless-steel grates will be installed around the pool, depth markers will be upgraded, and PebbleTec will be installed on the entry ramp to make it less slippery. The pump room will be remodeled and upgraded with a new filter, a new chemical controller, a new water level controller, and a new digital flow meter.
The closure for construction is expected to be for approximately three months, though with ongoing delays common in the construction industry these days, it may take longer. Burlington Aquatics will provide updates should there be significant delays.
In phase two of construction, the pool enclosure will be replaced, and several upgrades will be made for ADA compliance. The pool enclosure, the fabric cover that allows for year-round use, is nearing the expecting end of life and there are also some potential structural issues that will be fully evaluated during phase one of construction. The renovations for ADA compliance include renovating the administrative counter to meet height requirements and adjusting locker room benches.
The timing for phase two of the repair and upgrades has not yet been determined and will be informed by evaluations made during phase one of construction.
