(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council directed City Administrator Gary Jorn to seek bids to either repair or replace the boiler  at the Aquatic Park when them met Monday evening. 

City Administrator Gary Jorn updated the Council on the boiler issue. Jorn said issues with the boiler surfaced midway through last summer.  The City mechanic made repairs but the troubles continued.  An Omaha company was contacted and further repairs were made but there are still issues. 

Jorn says the options for the City is basically continue to repair the boiler and hope to squeeze a few more years out of it, or replace it which he says will cost twice at much as repairing it. 

Jorn said he has some estimates but did not want to disclose them until the bids are received. 

The boiler at the aquatic park is 13 years old and the normal life expectancy is 7 – 10 years.
