The PORTA Pool will be temporarily CLOSED until further notice due to filter repairs. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause during this time. The district is taking steps to remove the current damaged filter and replace it as soon as possible. Prior to successfully completing repairs the district must seek professional assistance in the removal of the 6ftx6ft metal filter tank and solicit bids to install a new system. Additionally, the District must apply for a permit from the local Health Department in Sangamon County to complete the work. It is anticipated the pool will be unusable for at least two weeks and possibly up to four depending on the efficiency of the application process, acquiring the appropriate equipment for the repair and removal of the existing tank. While we have no real idea of expected costs to replace the filter, current estimates exceed $20,000.
