Update on major investment at Prudhoe Waterworld ( 27/4/25)
Rumours have been circulating that the pool etc will not be ready until the summer, some of these rumours have been ‘invented’ by someone who should know better.
The facts
I can not give an exact date for the opening but I can say, I expect it to be fully open and very busy by mid May 2025, if not a lot earlier……
Refilling of the swimming pool is on the critical path for achieving an opening date of the facility.
That is a somewhat complicated process,it is far from just turning on a bath tap I have been assured.
- I understand the construction work is complete and the facility is in the process of being ‘handed over’
- Pool filling process will take several days to complete..
- Pool plant commissioning – progressing.
- Water quality testing and any necessary remedial action will be carried out after that. – Update awaited
- Pool water testing result- awaited.
- Pool staff training – Progressing.
- Pool reopening on – TBC but as always we will keep you informed.
- Thank you to the staff, all those involved in this project for their commitment and of course the Waterworld customers for their understanding as we have been improving the offer.
- ** More internal investment to the WW building has been discussed but due to the pre election period details cannot be given at this time.
