foto itv-formenteraThe Formentera Council's infrastructure office announces that this Monday workers of the municipal swimming pool and the island's roadworthiness testing bureau, or ITV, will return to work after a break that made it possible for municipal crews and outside firms to attend to a range of upgrades.

Vehicle inspections
The ITV will open on Monday as they begin responding to appointment scheduling requests. The garage will resume functions Tuesday. Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 2.00pm. The service can also be reached by phone at 971 32 31 30 and email, at itv@conselldeformentera.cat.

During the office's month-long summer holiday, on-site machinery was subject to thorough checks and the entire facility to a deep clean. Repairs were also performed on the building's roof.

Pool
The municipal pool will resume normal operations on Monday (weekdays 7.45am to 10.30pm and Saturdays 9.00am to 2.00pm). Swimming for people with reduced mobility, therapeutic swimming and fibromyalgia, courses for advanced swimmers, swimming for mothers-to-be, swimming for newborns, Aquafitness, open swim and other activities are available.

Work last week involved adding a fresh coat of paint to changing rooms and hallways, replacing hallway ventilators, creating a common area in the hallway with electric sockets and a mirror, placing joints across the pool deck, checking the skimmers of the large and small pools, removing rust and painting the inner-facing metal casing of glass doors, soldering a bar on an outside handrail and performing checks of the emergency doors.

Crews also mounted a new shutter system (€5,410.67, tax included) in the outdoor area of the pool and, for €19,420.89 total, made the services and women's and men's changing areas accessible for individuals with reduced mobility.
