Chlorine buildup sends three children to LMH
Oskaloosa ? Officials responded to a malfunction at the Oskaloosa pool Tuesday that caused three children to be taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Chlorine apparently built up in the main pump line at the pool and dumped into the water when the pump was started, Jefferson County Undersheriff Jeff Herrig said.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department, Jefferson County ambulance and Oskaloosa Fire Department responded about 11:50 a.m.
Three children who were in the children’s pool for a special event before the pool opened became ill and were taken to LMH, Herrig said, and they all were treated and released.
The chlorine level was checked, and the pool opened at 1 p.m.
