Tapanui Swimming Pool committee chairman Murray Harris has appeared at several West Otago Community Board meetings and described some of the issues which the organising and fundraising committee had addressed over the past year.
Some of the issues included the deteriorating condition of the purlins in the roof, the failing of two heat pumps and ''flaking'' of paint at the base of the small pool in November.
Both the heat pumps have been replaced at the pool complex, in Sussex St, and Mr Harris was happy with how they were performing.
Mr Harris showed the Otago Daily Times the condition of the interior of one of the pools where paint had begun to peel and ''flake'' from its base.
It did not appear to be a major problem and was only in one part of the pool.
He said the organising committee was happy to keep the pool open until the end of the season, when it would be drained so the base of the pool could be repaired.
''We've only got paint starting to peel off that needs to be dealt with ... once we can get down and see what is happening.''
Mr Harris did not want to cut back or reduce the length of the season because of the repairs.
It was estimated that it would take up to two months to repair the pool once it was emptied.
''I didn't want to do that [empty and repair] in the middle of our season because our season lasts from the middle of November to the start of April,'' he said.
When contacted by the Otago Daily Times, Mulford Holdings managing director Barrie Clydesdale said there was no issue with the paint-job in the swimming pool and a solution had been agreed upon.
He said fixing the paintwork would be a long process.
Mr Harris was also waiting on a report from an engineer about the state of the purlins in the roof, which may need to be replaced.
Once he had a report from the engineer, tenders could be sought for the work needed and fundraising could be organised.
