WHIDBEY NEWS-TIMES: Park board eyes financing for boiler replacement

The North Whidbey Pool, Park and Recreation District commissioners voted to authorize Commissioner Jay Cochran to sign a contract with Northwest Thermal Hydronics, LLC to replace the 39-year-old boiler for the Pool. However, the commissioners have not yet figured out how to fund the $152,460 price tag.

Commissioner Cochran said “it’s just better at this point to stop repairing all the little pieces and replace it all and get that one to last for the next 20 years.” Commissioner Christopher Wiegenstein said the pool is well worth the investment. “We want it to be a place of pride for our community.” he said.
