The Atkinson Pool renovation is on pace and on budget according to a report form Sudbury’s Assistant Town Manager and Finance Director, Victor Garofalo.
During the October 20 meeting of the Finance Committee, Garofalo told members that tile work is almost entirely complete, new filters are in, and skimmer work should be completed soon. Notably, Garofalo informed the Finance Committee that the latest PSI test on the skimmers indicated that there were no remaining leaks. He voiced confidence that the leaks have been resolved.
While there have been some change orders over the course of the project, Garofalo stated that he expects the first phase of the project to be completed on or before December 1 and at, or below, budget. He estimated that the teams will start filling the dive well on October 30, and that process should take five days. After that, they’ll begin filling the lap pool and dialing in the chemicals.
For pool users, the bottom line is that the pool is expected to reopen on December 1, or potentially sooner if all goes well from this point forward.
There will be a second phase of the project in the spring of 2026. That will require another short closure, but it will be outside of the swim team season that generates essential revenue for the Atkinson Pool.
