In Pierrefitte (Seine-Saint-Denis), the Claire-Supiot aquatic center inaugurated in May 2022 is now closed “until further notice”, indicated the management of the swimming pool on its website.
The door should remain closed for a few weeks because of "a technical problem", details the message.
A human error would have in fact caused the closure, advances

.
At the time of the scheduled emptying and requiring a closure announced during the winter holidays, improper handling would have caused an overflow of the basin, said someone close to the file.
The water would then have damaged the differential of the electric meter located in the technical room.
The spare part takes a fortnight to arrive, explained PS mayor Michel Fourcade.
The city councilor raised the possibility of a reopening of the swimming pool on February 6 while hoping for an earlier date.
The municipal opposition denounced a "lack of transparency" about the closure of the modern structure which cost 17 million euros.
The county council has meanwhile denied any faulty workmanship and also highlighted "a human error".
