RE: Pool Repair Update
Dear Homeowners,
A recent email blast went out stating that the Association was hoping that repairs to the pool would begin on June 27th. However, due to the extreme heat we have been experiencing the repair company could not begin the job as scheduled.
Every expert that we have contacted stated that fiberglass coatings peel away very quickly when exposed to temperatures over 90 degrees. For the Promenade pool, it will take nearly 2 days to simply drain the water and then another couple of days to complete the repairs. This means that the pool surface would be exposed to 100 degree plus weather for over 4 days, possibly destroying the entire fiberglass coating and would result in the Association having to re-surface the entire pool. With permits and inspections, re-surfacing could take at least 2-3 months to complete and we would lose the entire summer swimming season.
We understand that many of you are extremely upset about the timing of this situation but please realize that this could not have been foreseen prior to the fiberglass section being removed from the pool. In fact, four different pool companies recently inspected the pool when submitting bids to provide monthly maintenance to the Association and not one of them noticed any serious cracks or irregularities in the pool surface.
While this has been extremely unfortunate, we are not willing to sacrifice the safety of our residents or damage the pool even further in an attempt to open the pool prematurely. We can assure you, however, that the repairs will be made as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and patience,
Sincerely,
The Promenade at Porter Ranch Board of Directors
