Several pools in Sopelana and Orduña have been closed due to the appearance of excrement in the water

The source of this dirt is a challenge that has spread on social media and gone viral. Since the beginning of the summer, dozens of pools have been closed in the state for the same reason.

Man has the capacity to be constantly surprised, and not often for good.

Over the past few days, several pools in Sopelanaand Orduñahave been forced to close due to the appearance of excrement (shit) in the water.

Since the beginning of summer, the Arrietara Club pool in Sopelana has had to close its doors nine times for this reason, the last time last weekend.

This is not the only case registered in the ACV, as the Orduña City Councilreported yesterday that it has had to vacate the pool several times for the same reason.

Apparently, it's not an accident, and the source of that crap is a challenge that has spread and gone viral on social media, and it's at least something that's been repeated every year since 2018 during the summer season.

As a result, dozens of facilities have been closed in the State, including Albacete, Alicante, Cantabria (Tanos, Puente San Miguel, Los Corrales de Buelna), Salamanca and Valencia.

It's a public health problem, because the pool is emptied, the water is washed and hyperchlorinated and bacteriological tests are done before it's reopened.
