Physical Property staff share the community’s frustrations on the delays associated with the repair of the pool and spa.

The project was originally planned as a renovation but as underlying foundational defects were uncovered, it quickly became a complete replacement requiring extensive new plans that must be compliant to all new codes. That complication was compounded by the COVID-19 crisis, which has heavily impacted response times, even with major utilities.

The architect has completed the set of stamped plans and a permit application for the City of Seal Beach and the Orange County Health Care Agency.

The packet was submitted on Feb. 5. When the plans are approved and a permit is issued, an updated construction schedule will be completed and shared.

MJ Jurado has installed a 6-foot sewer line for the pool backwash system, with the capacity to receive 185 gallons per minute for five minutes.

Rough-in plumbing is continuing this week.

The pricing of pool equipment from multiple vendors is nearing completion.

Once that is finalized, orders will be placed.

SCE has approved the installation of a 100-amp pedestal on the golf course to relocate the power from the pool equipment room. This was approved by GRF Board last week.

SoCal Gas has relocated the gas meter.

We thank you in advance for your patience.
