Hi neighbours, the family spa pool at the Pt Erin Pools on Shelly Beach Rd has been temporarily closed after tests revealed Legionella bacteria in the water.
Legionella bacteria can cause Legionnaires' disease, which is a lung condition similar to pneumonia. It can cause coughing, shortness of breath, fever, muscle aches, headaches and in extreme cases, death.
The spa has been treated, emptied, scrubbed and re-filled, however it would take up to 10 days to receive the results.

Firearms, ammunition, swords, dead animals, chemicals, tree stumps and Christmas trees are just some of the strange things Aucklanders have attempted to recycle this year.
However, the contest for the most unexpected items went to those who tried to recycle a samurai sword and an artificial hip joint.
Auckland Council is pleading with residents to be wary of what they recycle, as it reveals some of the weird items found in the yellow-top recycling bins in 2019.
Anyone who attempted to recycled prohibited items bubble wrap, plastic bags, ribbons, batteries, food scraps, clothing, footwear, electronics, broken glass, polystyrene and single-use coffee cups should consider themselves an addition to "Santa's Naughty List", Auckland Council said.
