The Aldaia City Council has installed three free portable pools at the Jaume Ortí sports complex to combat the heat this summer. Open daily from 11:30 AM to 7:00 PM, they offer an accessible leisure alternative while the municipal pool remains closed due to the severe damage caused by the storm, with repairs estimated at one million euros. The measure aims to provide relief to residents with limited capacity.
Slow municipal reconstruction with million-dollar cost 💧
The Aldaia municipal pool remains out of service due to the structural damage caused by the storm. The local government has budgeted one million euros for its repair, a process that is progressing slowly. Meanwhile, the technical solution adopted has been the installation of these portable pools, which operate with portable filtration systems and require daily maintenance. The choice responds to the urgency of offering a swimming space without waiting for the complete renovation.
The low-cost dip replacing the monumental project 🏊
Three plastic pools, a strict schedule, and limited capacity: this is how Aldaia is coping with the summer while the real pool awaits its million euros. At least residents can cool off, even if it is in a facility that looks like it came from a DIY catalog. But be warned, if you want to swim, arrive early, because the capacity runs out faster than the patience of those waiting for the construction.
