Wawa Municipal Council's approved the purchase of a replacement condenser for the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre, after a leak in the unit.
During their meeting last night, Council approved the purchase - about $69,500 - with the funds to be withdrawn from the General Capital Reserve Fund.
Addressing the issue at last week's Council meeting, Community Services and Tourism Director Alex Patterson explained there was a leak in the condenser, which uses ammonia to cool the ice.
Patterson assures the leak didn't become too much of a problem.
While there will need to be a temporary shutdown when the unit arrives so it can be installed as soon as possible, Patterson says operations within the arena are continuing as normal, though staff are making additional checks on the unit.
