Hot Water System Update at Eltham Leisure Centre

Hot Water System Update at Eltham Leisure Centre

UPDATE – 1st August 2025

We thank all our visitors to Eltham Leisure Centre for their continued patience regarding the issues with the hot water system. We appreciate your understanding the time it has taken to resolve this complex issue and are very happy to advise that a complete replacement of the hot water system is scheduled to begin in two weeks. 

To minimise disruption, the new system is currently being constructed off-site.  Once installation begins, the work is expected to take 1-2 days, after which the new system will be fully operational and available for community use. Please note there may be a short period during this installation where hot water is unavailable — we will communicate specific dates and details closer to the time.

While we wait for the installation date, we will continue to have our contractors attend site daily to manage the current system to function, but as previously advised, there may be periods of time during high patronage that temperatures may be lower than expected. 

We thank you for your continued support and will continue to keep you updated as the works progress.

____________________________________________________________________________________

Visitors to Eltham Leisure Centre may have noticed ongoing issues with the hot water system. We understand how this may be affecting your experience, particularly during the colder months, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience.

The issue stems from the ageing infrastructure of the current hot water system. Our team is working closely with contractors to manage the immediate problem, while also progressing plans for a full system replacement. The installation of a new, more reliable system is a priority, and we’re doing everything we can to have it in place as soon as possible.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. As work continues, we’ll keep our community updated with any significant developments or changes to services.

Thank you for your continued support.
