Dear Homeowners ...
While we passed the Township's electrical inspection and the County Health Department gave our setup, signage, and safety equipment the thumbs up earlier this week ... unfortunately, the water test did not pass. All 3 are required for us to officially open. Therefore, per the Health Department, we cannot open this weekend. The pool water sample was taken on Monday (just as it is taken weekly throughout the season) and results typically take 72 hours. We received the results today (Thursday) and they found bacteria in the water. The source is not known. It can come from dirt blowing into the pool or pollen falling from the trees ... anything organic that can cause bacteria growth. The pool chemicals were all reading at the correct levels, the water was clear, and the filters are running continuously. So we cannot assign a specific cause. We are shocking the pool with a significant amount of chlorine today and the lab will send a representative tomorrow morning to take another water sample. With the upcoming holiday weekend, we will not have results until Tuesday afternoon at the earliest. Our apologies for the inconvenience. Bacteria is not something we can test for on-site and we rely on weekly testing by an outside laboratory to test that water quality factor. Sincerely, OSC Board Comments are closed.
