Fecal accidents have closed Bowling Green's aquatic complex three times since it opened June 15, frustrating patrons and staff, and costing an estimated $5,000 in revenue.
Director of Parks and Recreation Dr. Michelle Grigore told the Board of Parks and Recreation Tuesday night that closings indicate how seriously the staff takes the incidents. She said time was taken to attempt track down the "poopetrators," which drew a chuckle from board members.
Grigore said one of the incidents was been traced to a 6-year-old. In cooperation with a parent, a youngster was banned from the pool for a week and there have been no recent incidents. Grigore said a group of four boys was apparently "passing gas" and watching the bubbles rise to the surface when one incident occurred.
