The Keller ISD natatorium will receive new water filters later this year following the school board’s approval of a $357,000 purchase to replace the filters at a June 11 trustee meeting.

The natatorium closed in mid-May after filter failures created unsafe swimming conditions, Deputy Superintendent John Allison said at a May 14 KISD meeting.

The details: Trustees approved the funds to replace all six water filters at the natatorium. The purchase only includes the filters and not the additional work required to install them, like removing portions of the wall to gain access to the filters.

The total cost to replace the filters will be about $500,000, according to district documents.

Allison said the filters have a 3-4 month lead time, and he expects the new filters to be installed and for the natatorium to reopen in the fall.
