Vesturbæjarlaug closed for repairs
Vesturbæjarlaug will close at 8pm tonight and remain closed for about a week. Unfortunately, a defect in the paint job on the pool bottom has caused paint to start peeling off the pool basin.
Maintenance projects have been ongoing there this summer, with the goal of improving guest facilities and renovating older structures. The pool reopened on July 19.
It has now become clear that paint is peeling off the pool basin, which can be traced to mistakes in the prep work during renovations. The contractor responsible for the work deeply regrets this situation, accepts full responsibility and will cover all repair costs.
Working quickly and safely in coming days
The decision has been made to close the pool at 8pm tonight, Monday, Aug. 18. Weather conditions over the next few days will allow the work to be completed quickly and safely, making it important to begin repairs immediately.
The goal is to reopen Vesturbæjarlaug before school swim lessons start.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We look forward to welcoming guests again once repairs are finished.
