A new exfiltration trench is being excavated on the north side of the property down the parking lot, electrical and plumbing work is going in for the pool filtration systems.

Work continues on the north side building foundations and utilities.

Design work continues on the27M dive tower and south locker room building.  Demolition for the south building is estimated to start the beginning of next year, 2021.
