Hatboro Pool Closed For 'Fecal Incident:' Officials

HATBORO, PA —The Hatboro Memorial Pool is closed Tuesday due to a fecal incident that took place the night before, borough officials said.

Borough officials posted on Facebook that the incident took place at 7:15 p.m. Monday.

Hatboro Public Works has been "working diligently" to resolve the issue. But borough officials said they found out Tuesday afternoon that the pool needs to remain closed through the evening to allow the chemicals to return to safe levels for bathers.

Borough officials had hoped the pool would reopen Tuesday evening.

The pool is expected to reopen at its regularly scheduled time Wednesday at this time.

"We thank all of our members and guests for their understanding at this time," borough officials said.
