HAVEN, Kan. — The Haven City Council released information Tuesday on the status of the renovations and improvements to the City Pool.
The City of Haven is engaged in litigation in Reno County District Court related to the City Pool project. The parties to the litigation include Compton Construction (general contractor), Harbinger Concrete (subcontractor), Don Paddock (designer of the pool remodel) and Johnson & Company Engineering (engineer working with Mr. Paddock on the pool design). The City does not comment on pending litigation.
According to a release from the Haven City Council, "The construction on the remediation of the pool defects is going well. Since January 2023, the work has been progressing to remove the defective sections of the pool and replace them."
The footings are complete and the plumbing has been installed properly. The wall forms and electrical work are being completed and installed this week. The council noted that continued mild weather is very helpful to the project’s progress.
During this process, portions of demolished concrete are being preserved near the pool area as a result of the lawsuit.
"It is critical that all citizens and especially our children stay away from this area," the release said. "We anticipate all debris will be removed in the upcoming weeks. Until then, please do not allow children to climb on or get near the debris. Adults are also instructed to keep your distance from the debris for safety purposes."
The council plans to have the pool be operational for the 2023 season.
