Heater problem shuts down GHS pool

Grafton High School’s swimming pool remains out of commission indefinitely after its water heater was disconnected from the school’s boiler system during the school’s renovation projects.

“During the construction project it was disconnected,” School District Supt. Jeff Nelson said. “There was an oversight of not ordering a new boiler for the pool.”

Nelson said the water heater, which was budgeted for outside of the district’s $39.9 million school facilities project, is currently out for bid. He said he was not sure what the cost is.
