Police investigating flooding at Vanderhoof pool

Vanderhoof RCMP have opened a criminal investigation into the flooding that has shut down the community's aquatic centre just before Christmas.

The cause was originally thought to have been the deep freeze that struck the Central Interior at the time, but in a statement issued Monday, RCMP said evidence has been uncovered that suggests the incident was "intentionally caused."In the pool's mechanical heating and filtration systems suffered roughly $500,000 damage when 130,000 gallons of water flooded the pool's maintenance room on December 23, RCMP said.

Meanwhile, in a January 11 posting on its website, YMCA of Northern B.C. said the timeline for reopening the facility is eight weeks. "During this closure, the required annual pool maintenance will also be completed to avoid a service interruption in September. More details regarding the re-opening plan, such as the exact date and information on swimming lessons, will be shared as they are finalized in the coming weeks," YMCA-NBC added in the posting.Tips can also be left anonymously at Northern B.C.
