Sydney pools closed after bacteria scare

Written By Unknown on Senin, 03 Desember 2012 | 15.02

POOLS at the Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre have been temporarily closed after tests detected elevated levels of bacteria.

City of Sydney spokesman Garry Harding said filter cells in the 50 metre and program pools would be temporarily closed and treated with a powerful oxidising agent that acts as an accelerated sanitiser.

The bacteria, identified as pseudomonas aeruginosa, was usually controlled by chlorine, Mr Harding said.

"It appears that on this occasion our regular weekly super chlorination program did not prevent the bacteria and we have decided to close the pool as a precautionary measure," he said.

"We are not aware of anyone being affected, but have moved to close the infected pools immediately as public health is paramount."

The pools will be reopened once tests show the elevated bacteria levels have been eradicated, which could take seven days.
