A swimming pool in Strathaven has been forced to close due to a poo being found in the water.
Strathaven Leisure Centre announced today that its pool will be closed until 10am tomorrow.
A post on South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture’s Facebook page said: “Pool closure due to an AFR (accidental faecal release) the swimming pool will be closed.
“We will reopen 10am tomorrow morning.
“All pool activities will be cancelled during this time.
“We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience during this time.”
South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture say when this happens they have to close the pool immediately and carry out a strict cleaning regime to ensure any harmful bacteria is removed. This is carried out in line with Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group (PWTAG) guidelines.
