Renovations at Alameda to tackle leaks

BUTLER TWP — Butler County park officials hope to fix ongoing leaks at the swimming pool at Alameda Waterpark while making $1.1 million in renovations there.

The additional work would require replacing about 1,060 square feet of concrete to replace a major pipe beneath the pool. Gary Pinkerton, parks and recreation director, said the timing would be good because of the other construction taking place.

“We thought that this might be one of the problems where we had leaking at the pool,” he said. “We still anticipate the pool to be open and operational by May 30.”

Pinkerton said leaking problems began a few years after the last major renovation in 1998.

The pipe replacement would cost the county an additional $16,300, which would go a little over budget with the project’s $1.1 million plan. The county commissioners will vote on the change on Wednesday.

Splash pads, a dog park, and other amenities are being added to Alameda Waterpark this summer.
