On February 10, 2009, the South Fairfax Heritage Recreation Association B (the association which owns the pool used by Tall Tree South, Tall Tree Gardens, and Maplewood Village) met at TTG.

The 2008 season ended successfully and the association is in better financial shape than in recent years.

Plans for the 2009 season include whitecoating the main pool and the baby pool, and doing associated repairs and caulking.  Additionally, a Stingl switch will be installed at the motor, and approved frames and grates will be installed at the main and baby pool single drains.  This will provide compliance with the Baker Act, which covers drain modifications mandated by Federal law to prevent entrapment in drains.

The work will commence in March, 2009. The cost of the repairs is significant.  The association potentially deferred replacement of the diving board, which is cracked. It is possible that this may be done if we get a good price. Additional repairs will be done to lighting and plumbing, and replacement of the rope surrounding the pool.  The budget will still be tight, but progress is being made. The roof of the pool house has been replaced, the pool house has been painted, and this year the pool will be whitecoated.  Onward and upward.
