Replacement of hot water system to avert disaster at Pla-Mor Palace

PlaMor Palace will be receiving major upgrades to its hot water system in the near future

Executive Committee took steps on Dec. 10 to advert a potential disaster at Pla-Mor Palace by authorizing the replacement of the hot water system at the local dual-rink facility.

Operations manager Scott Oakes revealed that the deteriorating and outdated system was causing a dangerous situation for workers, including on incident where pressure issues saw workers have to call for assistance when the situation became too unsafe.

The new system would remedy those problems while also greatly improving the hot water supply to the facility, improving energy efficiency and creating hot water on demand versus continually heating tanks of hot water.

The total cost of the project comes in at $102,702.75, with Black and MacDonald providing the winning quote.

The project originally had $160,000 allocated, $80,000 each for the Pla-Mor and Kinsmen Sportsplex facilities, but the damage at the Palace was severe enough to warrant the major replacement and higher cost. The Sportsplex replacement will take place at a later date.
