Minor repairs are underway at Wai o Rua – Stratford Aquatic Centre

Building contractors for Wai o Rua – Stratford Aquatic Centre have been undertaking some minor repairs at the facility, with the mahi set to continue over the next few months.

Victoria Araba, SDC Director - Assets, says it’s common for new buildings, like the aquatic centre, to settle down slightly after construction which can cause small cosmetic flaws, like hairline cracks in some tiles or surfaces. Contractors are also investigating discoloration of flooring in one of the changing rooms.

“Our community will notice our contractors working to fix minor issues at Wai o Rua, and some areas may be off limits while the repairs are being done. We really appreciate people’s patience during this time, and we’ll do everything we can to limit the inconvenience to pool users,” says Victoria.

“It’s normal to remedy small issues after a new facility settles and the work is being done at no extra cost to us or our ratepayers, as it’s covered by the facility’s defects liability period.”
