Heat from Aldershot Crematorium’s furnaces could be used to keep the water at Aldershot Lido warm, a meeting has heard.
Rushmoor Borough Council is trying to make the lido viable as it tries to deal with a £2.4m cut to the council’s government grant.
At a meeting of its leisure and youth panel on Monday, a councillor said using the crematorium’s furnaces to help heat the lido and the indoor Aldershot Swimming Pools Complex might be an option.
A council in Worcestershire made headlines in January when it became the first council in the country to do this.
At Monday’s meeting, Cllr Eric Neal said this had been discussed at Rushmoor in previous years during earlier efforts to make the lido more financially viable.

29/3/2011 Trinkets and presents left at a communal baby memorial have been dumped after council bosses branded them 'inappropriate'.
Grieving parents were furious when they found toys, flowers and mementoes were removed without their permission or knowledge by South Tyneside Council.
Many parents with memorials for children at South Shields Crematorium had left tributes and trinkets at plaques bearing the names of their loved ones.
But now they have been swept up and dumped at the back of the crematorium next to rubbish bins.
One group of mums say they are stunned how anyone could be so heartless.

29/3/2011 A £2.6m upgrade of Durham Crematorium is due to start.
The 50-year-old crematorium will soon have a new car park and improved road access at the site. New machines will be installed in 2012 which will recycle energy to help heat the building.
The crematorium, which holds 2,000 services a year, will be open as usual while the work is carried out.
The project is being delivered by Durham County Council with Spennymoor Town Council.
The upgrade will include the installation of more environmental cremators.
Power used at a crematorium could be offset by building a £70,000 wind turbine more than twice the height of a family home.
Middlesbrough Council wants to put an 18.5m (60ft) mast on land next to Teesside Crematorium in Acklam.
But the turbine’s overall height would be 25m (82ft) when its blades are factored in.
If plans are approved, the turbine would feed into the national grid to offset energy used by the site and the council would be reimbursed for any power it produces.
The system would cost the council £70,000, although it is estimated that the sum would be recouped within eight years.
But the reaction to the scheme from residents was mixed.
PEOPLE from all faiths will soon have a new venue where they can say a final goodbye to loved ones.
The new £6.2 million Oak Chapel at Crownhill Crematorium is fast taking shape ahead of its projected June opening.
The building is now fully watertight and the internal finishes are taking place with specialist glass units for the stained glass windows to be installed in April.
Cabinet member with responsibility for the Crematorium, Mike Galloway, said: “I look forward to the opening of this important new multi-faith facility which incorporates a number of innovative environmental benefits.”

25/3/2011 La escasez de combustible ha obligado a enterrar en fosas comunes a los más de 9.000 fallecidos
JAPÓN es uno de los países del mundo que más práctica las cremaciones, con un porcentaje del 98,7% del total de fallecimientos, frente al 1,3% que se declina por las inhumaciones, pero en los próximos meses estas cifras se verán alteradas.
ZUTPHEN - In één keer zijn twee nieuwe uitgaven verschenen in de reeks ’Zutphense Archeologische Publicaties’. De geschriften doen verslag van het onderzoek naar elf eeuwen historie in en onder de Rode Torenstraat 51 en van het terrein aan de Voorsterallee waar later dit jaar een crematorium van start gaat.
El cementerio de Montjuïc ha instalado un parque de energía solar fotovoltaica de 700 metros cuadrados que generará 136.000 kilovatios por hora, el equivalente al 34% de la energía que necesita el cementerio y el crematorio, y lo suficiente para abastecer a 46 familias.
La energía producida por las placas, situadas sobre ocho bloques de nichos, se evacuará a la red de distribución una vez la instalación entre en funcionamiento, y reducirá en 135 toneladas las emisiones de CO2 a la atmósfera.
Relatives wept and soldiers saluted as dozens of tsunami victims in simple wooden coffins were buried in a mass grave in a city in northeast Japan overwhelmed by death.
With makeshift morgues close to overflowing and crematoriums unable to keep pace with the numbers of bodies, the Japanese authorities have taken the drastic step of using mass burial sites as temporary resting places.
