The Spartan Recreation Center closed Monday after a gas leak was discovered.

The fire department evacuated the gym facility while the leak was stopped, but there are some repairs that need to occur before the full heating system can be turned back on.

The fire department cleared the Center to reopen after about an hour. However, there is currently no heat in the locker rooms, the Olympic and Cascade rooms, and the lobby.

The rest of the building has heat and there is hot water. City staff are working diligently with the School District to get heat to the entire building as soon as possible.

They were talking to repair vendors on Tuesday to get an estimate on when the equipment would be fixed and the full facility would have heat.
