A place to talk about New York on Farcaster

85% (44/52) of NYC’s public pools had to be shut down last summer because someone pooped in them

So I had the uh…privilege… of hearing in depth how the City of Hamilton pools handle « fouling events » (poops) and it’s a common occurrence with a SOP.

1. Test water
2. Shut down pool
3. Test water
4. Clean pool (physical, chemical, usually takes 24h)
5. Test water
6. If 5 is good, open up.

So I didn’t RTFA but the numbers seem normal to me.

IIRC City Staff kept a public record of fouling events.

The comparison is silly.  They are the same.  I bet if you looked at it over 5 years they all average the same number of fouling events unless there is one asshole kid doing it on purpose.

I want to know

- where the poop free pools are 

- how it compares to other public pools
