Maurie Kjar Aquatic Centre temperatures
Our pool temperatures are much lower than usual. Further investigation is being carried out as it appears this 80m steam well, that provides heat for the Maurie Kjar Aquatic Centre, is being impacted by groundwater. A high water table can increase cold groundwater infiltration into the well, diluting the geothermal fluid or reducing the temperature and pressure of the steam. This lowers the well’s efficiency and energy output. Excessive groundwater can also flood the well, potentially quenching the stream reservoir in shallow geothermal systems. Council appreciates your patience as we carry out these investigations to ensure a long-term fix of the issues. Temperatures of the pool today are:
Main pool: 28.4°C
Spa pool: 39.4°C
Please note: pool temperatures are updated weekdays only (excluding public holidays and weekends)
