MEMBER NOTICE: Abrego South closures

Aquatics facilities are CLOSED

The aquatics facilities at Abrego South closed July 10 due to a water leak. Those amenities will remain closed for now.

Regular users of the site have no doubt noticed cracks and surface irregularities developing over the past few years. The site has also been prone to leaks in the underground plumbing. All of this suggests that there is subsidence occurring in the area.

In the past six to eight weeks, new cracks have appeared, and others have grown. Surface irregularities on the pool deck have also grown, posing trip hazards. Staff have been keeping a careful eye on the situation. We have verified leaks in the pool plumbing and spa. Earlier this week, staff toured the site with inspectors from the Santa Rita Fire District. SRFD consulted with Pima County building inspectors, who determined that at this time, the shower building is not occupiable.

Next steps include a geotechnical survey and core drilling, and consultation with a structural engineer. With reports and advice from these specialists, we will better understand our options. We do not yet have enough information to predict a reopening date.

The recreation room is now open for drop-in use. Members using the sports courts will be welcome to access the restrooms, so drop-in users should anticipate traffic through the room.
