Repairs may be necessary to the slide at the Decorah Swimming Pool

Posted: Mon, May 24, 2010 4:54 PM

An insurance audit of City of Decorah property has uncovered a possible issue at the Decorah Swimming Pool.

Decorah Park-Rec Director Rick Edwards says the insurance inspector thought the top platform of the pool slide was a little "spongy."  Edwards says some temporary shoring will be put up on the platform.  And engineer will also be hired to make a complete inspection of the slide.

Edwards say the issue is not serious.  The slide will be open when the overall swimming pool opens over the Memorial Day weekend.

The Decorah swimming pool--including the pool slide--was built in 1989.  This will be the 21st season at the new pool.
