Kimberly Ebner, aquatics operations supervisor at the Durango Community Recreation Center, sprays water onto the swimming pool Tuesday. The pool, which has been drained for maintenance, must be watered twice a day to keep it from drying out. Maintenance includes replacing drain gates, putting grout around tiles and removing stains. When the rec center reopens, users can also expect to see new paint jobs, tile work and plumbing repairs in the locker rooms. When full, the pool holds 333,000 gallons of water.
