WFXT reports on the latest problems at the Flaherty Pool. The pool also had to be shut in January due to HVAC problems.

The Roslindale Community School Council reports the Flaherty Pool had to be shut this weekend after the heating and ventilation system failed, and that it could be weeks before it's fixed.

The pool got a multi-million-dollar rehab in 2013.

The city shut the Flaherty Pool yesterday after it began leaking large amounts of water - barely 10 months after a multi-million-dollar renovation:

An underground pipe leak has caused the pool to lose large amounts of water over the past 24 hours. At this time we already have Contractors on site to begin digging up the areas where the pipe has broken. Staff are working to drain the pool to help allow the repair process to begin.

Supporters of the Flaherty Pool, run by the Roslindale Community Center and funded by the city, have posted a three-part report on what sort of shape the pool and the pool building are in.

Among the highlighted problems: Foundation cracks, an inadequate and broken ventilation system, leaking ceilings, rust and peeling paint everywhere, not enough lockers, standing water in the basement, missing emergency lights, exposed wiring, ceiling tiles about to collapse, failing pipe insulation, broken and rusted doors. Repairs made to the bottom of the pool in April of this year are already failing - and are rusting and cracking.
