The Hindmarsh Shire pool season will commence on Saturday 18th November 2017 in Dimboola and Rainbow, but the opening of the Nhill and Jeparit pools has been delayed due to mechanical problems.

Hindmarsh Shire Council Mayor Cr Ron Ismay said "Council is extremely disappointed that two of our pools will not be opening this weekend.

"Unfortunately, the mechanical issues were not apparent until both pools were filled with water and the chemical treatment process commenced."

Hindmarsh Shire Council has engaged contractors to repair the mechanical faults. It is envisaged that the Jeparit and Nhill sites will be open for business later next week.

Updates will be advertised on Facebook or patrons may contact the Nhill Office on 03 5391 4444.

"Council sincerely apologises for any inconvenience caused and is working towards a timely solution to the issues," Cr Ismay said.
