Thermae Bath Spa

Thermae Bath Spa is a multimillion pound development project in the city of Bath in England. One of the city's main attractions is its famous Roman Baths but they cannot be bathed in due to the original Roman lead pipes through which the water flows. Therefore the Thermae Bath Spa project was launched to allow tourists and residents to experience the natural spring waters.
The project is behind schedule and overbudget for several reasons. According to the local council, Bath and North East Somerset, the original budget of £13.5 million will rise to £35.7 million, largely due to legal disputes with contractors. Further, the wrong paint was applied to the complex which soon peeled and cost a further £4 million.
As yet the opening date of the complex is unknown, but it is not expected to be until 2005.
