HVAC issues at MLHS Pool postpone district swim tourney
MOSES LAKE — The District 5 Swim tournament was put on hold Thursday after the HVAC system at the Moses Lake High School Pool went out of commission earlier in the day. The tournament has been rescheduled to Wednesday at 5 p.m. at the Wenatchee High School Pool. “There’s multiple systems up there that not only heat the air but also help ventilate (the pool house) and one of our fan motors gave up the ghost,” said Moses Lake Athletic Director Loren Sandhop. The incident happened during a fire drill Thursday afternoon at the start of the diving portion of the district meet in Moses Lake. Sandhop said everyone had to step out due to a fire alarm at the school and when they returned to the pool house, there was an electrical smell and one of the airsocks that fill when the HVAC system is working was deflated.
