A plumbing emergency has forced the closure of the clubhouse bathrooms serving the pool and tennis facilities at the former Milton Country Club, and the city is bringing in portable toilets to serve for the duration of the outage.
A bathroom trailer with water and air conditioning was to arrive and be installed Thursday afternoon, while an ADA-compliant portable toilet, without stairs, was to be delivered Friday, according to a city spokeswoman. The outage does not affect the outdoor showers at the city-owned property.
Milton officials said staff discovered a leak while repairing a stall in the women’s bathroom. A third-party plumbing inspector brought in by the city assessed the subflooring and closed basement ceiling “(and) identified extensive water damage and what appeared to be mold,” the city said.
Milton ordered the bathrooms closed as soon as the presence of mold was confirmed. The portable facilities will be in service until repairs and remediation are completed. The city did not say how long that might be.
