The water slide at Saskatoon’s Lakewood Civic Centre will be closed for several weeks, the city says.

Ground-movement issues affecting the slide’s pump need to be resolved before the slide can be used.

The city is working with a consultant to figure out how best to fix the problem. Officials estimate the slide won’t open for several weeks.

The ground movement issues are affecting the civic centre’s mechanical crawlspace where the pump is located, according to the city. The problems are not affecting the swimming pool or hot tub.
