More complicated than they first thought, the Phyllis Dewar Outdoor Pool is still closed following a mechanical issue to start the long weekend.

Originally, it was believed the pool and spray park would be back open for Saturday but that was not the case. SaskPower was brought in to help diagnose the issue and it was determined that the power supply to the main building was fine but the line to the pump house had deteriorated, eventually failing.

An update issued by the city Tuesday morning explained that a workaround has been found for the Crescent Park spray area that will allow it to be used from 10 am until 5 pm, however, the pool will not be open until the issue can be fixed. Those looking to take a dip are being sent to the Kinsmen Sportsplex.

The city says they are working to restore power but there is no timeline for when repairs will be completed.
