The Weekly Wrap - Friday, September 25, 2026

Repairs to the air handling units at the Genoveva Chavez Community Center (GCCC) are continuing.

Since last week, the GCCC air handling units have received daily technical service and assessment, and a project manager from the City's Facilities Division has been assigned to support Recreation and Aquatics staff and oversee the project.

Technicians are repairing and replacing components that can be sourced locally while coordinating the fabrication of parts that must be custom-built for the system.

Both air handling units are currently online and operating at a minimum level. This helps prevent additional damage to the natatorium that could further delay reopening. However, the current level of operation is not sufficient to reopen the pool to the public.

City Facilities staff are also preparing to begin minor interior repairs. Timing may be affected by storm response needs in the coming days.

What Happens Next

Once the City has a clear timeline for the fabrication and delivery of the remaining parts, we will be able to provide a more specific reopening date for the GCCC pool.

We know swimmers and families are eager to return, and we appreciate your patience as crews work to complete these repairs as quickly and safely as possible.
