ORLAND PARK, IL — Orland Park's Centennial Park Aquatic Center (CPAC) will reopen on Tuesday, after "a thorough review of the facility and completion of all recommended health and safety procedures" following at least one E. Coli case possibly linked to the facility, the Village said Monday.
The aquatic center was closed late Saturday afternoon after a staff member reported being treated for Escherichia coli (E. coli) infection. A second potential case has not been confirmed, Village officials said Monday.
Officials also said Monday that testing and inspection results indicate the employee impacted likely did not get the infection from the center.
Steps Taken Before Reopening
Water quality testing: Multiple samples taken from throughout the facility tested negative for E. coli.
Current Status
Based on facility inspections and testing, there is no indication that the reported infection originated at CPAC, and all available water quality results meet health and operational standards, officials said.
Additionally, the Village said it has not received any other reports of illness among patrons or staff.
Tuesday’s Hours of Operation
Normal summer operating hours will resume on Tuesday. For a schedule of hours and fees, visit the center's website.
The Village said it appreciates the patience and cooperation of our residents, visitors and staff.
