At the beginning of Tuesday evening's regular session Nevada City Council meeting, the council heard a report on the Walton Aquatic Park given by Kyle McCawley from Waters Edge Aquatic Design.

McCawley noted that the city's pool was built in 1978, with a renovation in 2004. The existing swimming pool includes a zero-depth entry shallow pool; floatables; floatable walk; water slides; lap swimming and diving in the deep pool; and a spray pad.

McCawley went through a list of needed updates and repairs for the pool basin, which included replacing concrete joint sealant ; patching/covering exposed reinforcement steel with non-shrink grout; replacing gutter tile; recoating the pool basins; installing debris cover for winterization drains; and locating and repairing the source of water leakage.

Updates needed in water treatment and filtration include replacing filtration sand/media; replacing internal piping of filters; replacing corroded valves; and replacing corroded metallic components. To improve pool disinfection, McCawley noted that a liquid chlorine disinfection system should be installed and corroded doors should be replaced.

In addition, several of the pool's features need repairs, including the following:

• Replace all damaged and non-operable valves in the pipe manifold

• Clean and recoat all deteriorated surfaces

• Replace corroded valves and pipe connection

• Clean and recoat the deteriorated surfaces on the steel tower

• Clean and recoat the deteriorated surfaces on fiberglass rides

• Replace corroded valves and pipe connection on valving

• Replace corroded components surfaces on steel pipe
