ROCHESTER, N.Y. I The spraypark whose water sickened at least 3,800 people last summer -- in one of America's largest parasitic outbreaks in years -- will reopen this summer with a new filtration system and posted warnings telling people not to drink the water.

The Seneca Lake State Park spraypark will open around the end of June or beginning of July, said Wendy Gibson, spokeswoman for the New York state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.

Under new state regulations, the spraypark will have an ultraviolet filtration system designed to kill parasites like the one that got into the spraypark's recycled water system last year. The former filtration system couldn't handle the cryptosporidium that sickened people.
