Spanish Fork Did Not Warn About Crypto
Last summer's Cryptosporidium outbreak in Utah's public swimming pools continues to get attention. First, public health officials have been warned such large outbreaks are usually followed by a continued presence of the parasite the following year. Second, some officials want Utah to strike before that happens with a ban on wearing diapers in public swimming pools. And, third, studies are coming in on what actually did happen last season.
The cypto parasite made lots of people sick at the public swimming pool at Spanish Fork, Utah. (It 
is shown in the picture.) So, its been subjected to a study by the Utah County Health Department. The Salt Lake Tribune reports that:
A Utah County Health Department investigation found the Spanish Fork pool didn't post a mandatory sign telling people with diarrhea
they couldn't swim. While the notice was read over the intercom, no employees heard it, the report said.
The county's findings did not please Spanish Fork officials. Assistant city manager Seth Perrins said the city is "not liable for a crypto outbreak" and noted the pool was closed and super-chlorinated when managers were told it was infected with the parasite.

I think our friends in Spanish Fork might be interested in the crypto outbreak at Seneca Park in NY in 2005 where over 3000 people got sick.
