H2O Xtream needs costly upgrade

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

An "outdated” aquatic centre where 23 children fell ill needs millions of dollars worth of upgrades and maintenance work to bring it up to standard.
Upper Hutt City Council is proposing a full upgrade of H2O Xtream Aquatic Centre at a cost of $17.5m over the next decade.
Eleven children were hospitalised and many others required medical attention on April 1 following a chlorine-related incident at the facility.
“The facility is ageing; it requires a lot of expensive, ongoing maintenance and needs a complete overhaul,” according to the council’s Long Term Plan 2021-2031, which has gone out for consultation.
Do you agree with the council spending millions on the pool.
