Swimming pool facilities at Wester Hailes High school on Murrayburn Drive were closed on Monday, August 23, due to ongoing issues caused by flooding.
It is understood that flooding caused water damage to the roof and leaked down into several rooms, including to electrical panels that serve the pool. Work is currently being carried out on the roof.
Parents told the Evening News that the water was “up to the knees” and had caused ‘extensive’ damage.
