Summer is supposed to be fun enjoying the summer and for some that includes swimming.
In Macomb County, a community pool is closed because of a "serial pooper."
They posted the following message:
Regarding the recent pool closures… Someone has been defecating in the pool. Due to the frequency over the past week, we believe this is intentional. At the present time, we are reviewing attendance logs and recorded video. Rest assured that we are following published guidelines to restore the pool to a safe and sanitary condition.
Unfortunately, these closures are costing the recreational association money and downtime for our members. Beginning on Friday, July 12, a 2nd pool attendant will be on hand to assist with the daily functions. The 2nd attendant will remain onsite through the summer. Due to the additional costs related to the 2nd attendant, we have opted to cancel the annual carnival.
In closing, we are consulting with the local authorities regarding our options.
Talk about ruining the summer for each and every person that use to enjoy that pool. I have no idea why someone would ever want to poop in the pool.
According to WWJNewsradio.com, the Macomb County Health Department is aware of the issue and is taking the necessary steps to keep the facility safe for the public.
Zack, who lives in the subdivision, told WWJ that neighborhood kids are "devastated."
"It's like an epidemic. This is the third or fourth time this has happened in a short span this summer," he said. "At first, it's kind of funny; you think of a Caddyshack moment. But then it's like wow, this is actually ruining some of these kids' summer. It's costing everybody money and it's unfortunate."
