Construction continues to move quickly on the new Mount Carmel Aquatics Center.
During Tuesday afternoon’s Mount Carmel City Council meeting, Mayor Joe Judge said residents can expect to see major changes at the site over the next several weeks as work progresses on both the pool and bathhouse areas.
Judge said crews have already excavated the deep end of the lap pool and have begun installing drainage tile. He added that work on the deep end floor is expected to begin next week, with rebar installation scheduled to start later this week.
Once the floor is completed, construction will shift to the pool walls.
Judge also reported that Garmong Construction is expected to be on site later this week to begin footers for the new bathhouse.
The mayor said the project should begin moving along rapidly, noting that many of the long lead-time materials that are often delayed until later in construction have already arrived.
Judge told council members and residents they should continue seeing noticeable progress at the aquatic center site in the coming weeks.
