Legionella Found in Zagreb Pool; Facility Closed Indefinitely

A public swimming pool in Zagreb has been temporarily closed after the detection of Legionella bacteria. The facility, managed by Upravljanje sportskim objektima (Sports Facilities Management), announced the closure to ensure public safety.

Following the discovery of the bacteria, all necessary disinfection procedures are being implemented. Water samples will be collected again and sent for analysis to confirm the effectiveness of the treatment.

The management stated that the pools will remain closed until new water sampling confirms that the water quality is within safe standards. While the affected areas are closed, the indoor swimming pools at the facility continue to operate normally.

This measure aims to prevent any potential health risks associated with Legionella, which can cause a severe form of pneumonia. The prompt action taken by the facility management underscores their commitment to maintaining a safe environment for visitors.
