Rains Slowing Work On New Aquatics Center

Mt. Carmel Mayor Joe Judge provided an update Monday afternoon on construction of the city’s new aquatics center.

Speaking at the City Council meeting, Judge said Landmark Aquatics is now on site and will remain there through completion of the project.

The mayor noted that recent rain has made conditions muddy at the construction site, limiting some of the work that can be done. For now, crews are focusing on pinning, layout work, and preparing the site for the next phases of construction.

Judge said nine to ten dump truck loads of rock were delivered Monday to begin establishing a solid base in certain areas of the project.

As weather conditions improve, crews are expected to begin work on the bathhouse portion of the facility.

Judge says progress will continue as conditions allow, with Landmark Aquatics committed to staying on site until the new aquatics center is complete.
