Y Pool Is Closed

Mar. 23, 2017

The aquatic area at the Y.M.C.A. East Hampton RECenter closed on Sunday for repairs and is expected to reopen on May 13. The RECenter will remain open for use of the other areas of the building.

A new dehumidification system is to be installed and repairs are to be made to damaged steel columns in the pool area, East Hampton Town Board member Kathee Burke-Gonzalez said this week. The work is expected to improve the air quality in the pool area, which has been the subject of complaints.

East Hampton Town, which owns the building and contracts with the YMCA to operate the center, issued a $750,000 bond for the new dehumidification system and the replacement of the heating system, which took place in August, and a $200,000 bond for the column repairs.
