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.
