I took the photos late this afternoon and this is the first time I have checked the pool and was amazed that the pool which was filled between March 24-26 and today April 13 it is basically empty except for the stagnant water that has drained down to the deepest end. Hard to judge but from above it looked like about 6 inches of water there.
The pool at that time was filled with 391,000 gallons of water and now 2 1/2 weeks later you can see what is remaining even though the main drain and the east and west drains were plugged.
And you can see the rest of the pool which was filled to capacity is as dry as it can be. A very eerie feeling looking down at the emptiness. The damage you can see from a distance are in the deep end, and what you see as brown splotches (photo 3)is where concrete has disintegrated and reminds me of a damaged curb or wall. Above the lowest spots are brown areas but I believe that is debris.

A very good question was presented to me by a fellow Peru resident. I think it warrants being posted on this blog. It was "Did anyone document, on a daily basis, the amount of water lost during this test period?" It could be a very valuable bit of information in determining where the leaks are. Was this question even posed to Mr. Drennan by any of our aldermen?
Very good post anon 3:17! I wonder if any of the aldermen even checked out the condition of the pool before voting on opening it!
