It wasn't a chocolate bar in the pool
FARGO, N.D., July 26 (UPI) -- A large municipal swimming pool in Fargo, N.D., was reopened Wednesday a day after pranksters threw a bag of dog dung into it in sweltering temperatures.
Early Wednesday, a swim team arrived for practice at the Island Park pool and found the mess, the Fargo Forum reported Thursday.
Dave Klundt, the assistant director of parks and recreation, was called and the doors were ordered locked as maintenance workers set about cleaning up the solids, the report said.
Then, the pool that can hold 1,200 people was super-chlorinated, which requires at least 12 hours to dissipate to the point where people can safely enter the water.
The combined heat and humidity index measured 106 degrees on Wednesday, and Klundt said while vandals might think it was funny, "they don't understand that they're displacing a lot of people on a hot day."
Police have asked the public for any information in the investigation, the report said.
