Maplewood Pool CLOSED till further notice

Watermain issue in Irvington is cause. Email suggests updates to follow.

Tough day to have the pool down  

Agreed.  Problem is low water pressure resulting from the water main break.

Curious. Why would low water pressure close an already full pool? Because of the bathrooms? couldn't they get porta-johns?

I know it is beyond their control, but on a hot day like this I'd be lying if I didn't say I was a wee bit frustrated by this.   

Isn't there also a state health code regulation about having to shower before entering the pool? If water pressure isn't strong enough for the showers, that could also be a contributing factor. 

Bathroom, food prep, fire hydrants- plenty of reasons they'd be compelled to close.

pool will open at 4pm
