These so-called "sun" waters are very similar in makeup to the waters of the Dead Sea, the mayor points out.
"The water is approximately 40°C, which means it could be used as an outdoor pool during the winter," the mayor said, emphasizing that this could be one of the city’s tourism development possibilities. He informed that this healthy ground water has been used by the Liepaja Hospital for medical procedures since the 1970’s.
As Sesks explains, the reconstruction of the city’s sanatorium would be a big job, as several new drill holes are to be made to reach the groundwater.
