Beaufort County issued the following announcement on February 22.
BEAUFORT, SC – Beaufort County announced the immediate closure of Bluffton Pool located at 55 Pritchard St. Bluffton, SC, due to possible structural deterioration of the roof.
“Public safety, the safety of our patrons and children is paramount, said Eric Greenway, County Administrator. “A full inspection and the scope of repairs will be determined in the coming weeks.”
The County was notified late Tuesday that the possible damage could create a high probability that the roof structure would fail in the event of high winds or heavy rainfall.
A second detailed assessment of the structure will be conducted to determine the extent of the damage.
Beaufort County Parks and Recreation will work with private users and the Beaufort County School district to offer alternative locations for swim activities to take place.
The County staff will continue to gather all information and develop different plans for County Council to consider.
