In Peter S. Connor Memorial Pool in South Orange and the city officials, four repair and renovation projects are underway if everything runs as planned, the work should be completed by the beginning of May, which enables it to open at the memorial day as usual.
“As always, the punctual construction depends on all materials that are delivered in good time, and the weather enables the necessary installations and location work,” said deputy village administrator Peter Travers. “… In the case, there are unforeseen setbacks that can delay the opening. We will know the public as soon as we become aware of problems.”

The combined costs for the projects are almost 1.7 million US dollars. The replacement of the poolders both in the main pool and in the intermediate pool and the associated installation with both, he said.
“The old Gutter system was over 50 years old and needed a replacement,” said Travers and noticed that the replacement of gutters began after the end of the 2024 season and that almost 1.3 million dollars alone costs.
The 2024 project was part of a 1.9 million dollar package for pool repairs.
