This article is being read by an automated voice brought
0:14
to you by Everlett. The Princeton Park District provided an
0:19
update after Alexander Pool was closed last month due to
0:22
a major mechanical failure with their filtration pump and motor.
0:26
According to the district, it's still waiting on the delivery
0:30
of the replacement pump and motor assembly with an unclear timeline.
0:34
We are nearing the time that was initially promised for
0:37
the delivery, the district wrote in a statement. Because these
0:41
units are custom built to order, the timeline remains dependent
0:45
on the manufacturer. For now, the Bureau County Metro Center
0:49
continues to offer extended open swim times to provide alternative
0:53
aquatic recreation to help make up for the late start.
0:57
The park District said they will also extend the swimming
1:00
season later into the year as permitted by the availability
1:03
of lifeguards and the weather. We understand this is frustrating
1:08
news as the summer heat continues, and we deeply appreciate
1:11
the community's ongoing patience and understanding. The statement said. We
1:16
will continue to provide regular updates as soon as new
1:19
information becomes available. For updates and up to date schedules,
