Health and Safety Around Pools

New CDC Guidelines for Fecal Accidents in Pools

Editor's Note: The Center for Disease
Control (CDC) recently issued
guidelines for responding to fecal accidents
in pools and spas. Naturally, your
aquatic facility is governed by rules
emanating from your local and state
health departments. The information
presented here, however, will be invaluable in cleaning up and reopening
your facility. Check with the CDC's
web site frequently for updated information
on this and other pool and spa-related
topics at www.CDC.gov .
These recommendations are solely for
management of fecal accidents in disinfected recreational water venues.
