WPCNR PRESS BOX. From Arne Abramowitz, WP Recreation & Parks. October 10, 2003: Department of Public Works located the source of the White Plains Ebersole Rink ice surface leak this week causing them the delaying of  today’s scheduled opening.

Commissioner Arne Abramowitz advised WPCNR Friday that workers isolated the leak Wednesday in the concrete slab, cut through the slab, working late Wednesday evening and Thursday, and have repaired the leaky pipe. He said the ice-making system is now  back on, cooling and operating, chilling the concrete slab. Abramowitz said the system would be cold enough to make ice by Monday and reports the rink is scheduled to open Monday, October 20.

Asked if the rink system could have been checked out before the ice was originally made, Abramowitz said it was impossible to tell if the rink system is functioning properly until it starts up and makes ice.
