The City of Medicine Hat thanks residents for their patience and understanding as crews make emergency repairs.

“We are hopeful that we can get it open to the public. We know that in a weekend in July it is never great to have a pool down. So we are working as quickly as we can . Staff from various city departments are working together to get that operational,” said James Will, director of parks and recreation.

As for the cause of the water main break, Will says the pool’s aging infrastructure may have contributed.

Hill Pool was constructed in the 1960’s.
