(KWNO)-The Bob Welch Aquatic Center will not open today as previously announced. According to the City of Winona the contractor of an ongoing project at the pool has indicated that additional time is required before the facility can safely open to the public.
This project includes the largest mechanical equipment replacement effort since the Aquatic Center first opened in 1990. Upgrades include new heaters, chemical controllers, and a modern high‑efficiency water filtration system. Although construction crews have made substantial progress, the contractor must complete final installation work, conduct system testing, finalize safety checks and inspections prior to opening.
The City of Winona will issue an updated announcement and confirm an official opening date as soon as the contractor provides clearance that the facility is ready.
