Abrego South pool update

The aquatics facilities at Abrego South were closed in July due to the escalating development of cracks in the shower building and buckling of the pool deck. Suspecting ground subsidence, GVR consulted with a geotechnical survey firm. We have learned that in the 70’s, pool builders tended to inadequately compact the soils surrounding the pool cavity. This commonly leads to plumbing leaks as soil around the pool shifts and settles.

Chronic leaks, which GVR repeatedly identified and repaired at Abrego South, further destabilize the area and eventually this affects the pool shell. The pool shell at Abrego South has now developed a number of significant cracks. To rebuild, our experts recommend replacing the destabilized soils with engineered soils, to a minimum depth of 7.5 feet. This will increase the cost of replacing the pool. GVR’s pool replacement fund is currently adequate to cover one pool.

Given the need to also replace the shower building at Abrego South, and the fact that the pool there sees the least traffic of the thirteen GVR pools, the Board of Directors will be making a very careful assessment before expending the pool replacement fund in that location. GVR has three other pools of the same general era: Casa Paloma I (1975), Casa Paloma II (1977), and Continental Vistas (1979). Plans for the future of aquatics facilities at Abrego South could take several months to finalize.
