Hot water disruption at York Sport Village

Due to a burst water pipe affecting hot water supply at York Sport Village, we have had to close our swimming pools for the rest of today (Friday 31 July).

This means that a number of our facilities and services will be unavailable.

The following services are affected:
- Main Pool and Small Pool: Closed on Friday 31 July. As pool temperatures will begin to drop, it will no longer be safe for customers to use the pools.
- Swimming Lessons: All swimming lessons are cancelled on Friday 31 July.
- Showers: The showers in the changing rooms will be cold due to the lack of hot water.
- Café: The café will also be closed due to there being no hot water available for essential hand washing, food preparation and other food safety requirements.

We are hopeful of the hot water supply returning later today but don’t have a confirmed timeframe as yet. We will provide a further update as soon as we have more information.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding.
