HAVEN, Kan. — Although legal matters remain unresolved between the city of Haven and contractors hired to renovate the Haven Swimming pool, there may be movement on getting the pool open again.
A news release from the city of Haven noted that the litigation which includes Compton Construction, Harbinger Concrete, Don Paddock Designs and Johnson & Company Engineering is still unresolved, despite multiple attempts at settlement. The legal entanglement has kept the pool closed for three summers.
Now, it appears the city may be moving on to get the pool repaired. According to the news release, the city has contracted with an engineer and contractor to issue a design to fix the problems with the pool and to hire appropriate subcontractors to perform the work required to execute that design.
The city says both parties are near finalizing the plans to complete the project. If all goes as planned, work will start on the pool in early September and will likely last around four weeks.
The city says they initially tried to get the pool operational for part of the summer, but construction shortages and other developments in the lawsuit slowed that work down.
