We’re checking to see if the delay is related to the HVAC and electrical work we reported on earlier. 

“We are looking into it.”

Problems with electrical and HVAC systems forced the staff at the Jeff Rouse Swim and Sport Center to close early Tuesday.

The center is scheduled to reopen for business today at noon. It’s normal hours of operation are Monday – Friday 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sundays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The new indoor gym and aquatics center named after Olympic swimmer and Stafford native Jeff Rouse opened in May. County taxpayers funded the construction of the $11 million facility while a private firm was contracted to operate the center.
