Untreated water may have made its way into drinking fountains and was used in ice, drinks and food at all concession stands. It may have also gotten into the water at the swimming pools, the Health Department said. A power outage may have led to untreated water from a nearby irrigation pond to flow into the water supply at Water World in Federal Heights from Monday to Wednesday of this week, the Tri-County Health Department announced. The power outage required a repair of a broken water valve at the popular park, likely allowing water from the pond to get into the domestic water supply, according to the news release from the Health Department. The untreated water may have gotten into the drinking fountains, swimming pools and was probably used to make ice, drinks and food at all the concession stands, health officials said. John Douglas, the executive director of the Health Department, said the problem has since been fixed, so exposure was limited to Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. He said symptoms from ingesting untreated water can include vomiting, diarrhea and fever. Symptoms would most likely appear as soon as 12 hours after contamination but might not appear until up to 45 days. Anyone who's experienced these symptoms after their visit to Water World should call the state Department of Public Health at 303-692-2700 and then get in touch with their doctor. The Health Department said a doctor could identify pathogens sometimes found in untreated water, including norovirus, giardia, E. coli, cryptosporidium, and hepatitis A, and then begin treatment. No one has reported any illnesses yet, the Health Department said. The only area affected was Water World - every customer in Federal Heights besides them is fine, according to health officials. Staff at Water World are cooperating fully with investigators and are working to flush, disinfect and sample their drinking water and ensure their food and swimming areas are safe. The park will be closed Thursday, postponing the unveiling of the park's new ride, the Glacier Run, the park said in a news statement. The park is slated to reopen Friday. 9NEWS has reached out to Water World and will update this post when they get back to us.<doc-sep>FEDERAL HEIGHTS, Colo. — Health officials are warning of potential contamination at Water World.

FEDERAL HEIGHTS - Dreaming of a world of water made summer sense for Emily Kruse and her family Thursday morning. "I was excited the whole way cause I was like, 'oh, I get to go to Water World,'" Kruse said. But, when they pulled up to the empty parking lot, she knew something was wrong. "I was like 'why is no one here,'" Kruse said. "It's like a hot day and the tickets were half off. So, I was kind of confused." Despite the four-hour drive from Casper, Wyoming, Kruse and her family were met with a sign showing that Water World is closed for the day conjuring up images of the movie National Lampoon's Vacation and the Griswold's frustration at a closed "Wally World". "We can't really come back because we live so far away. So, we'll just have to get a refund," Kruse said. Refund appeared to be the word of the day in the office of Guest Services at Water World. Workers fielded calls from questioning consumers issuing many of them refunds for the tickets purchased for Thursday. "In the 39 years that we've been in business, we have never closed the park due to a water issue," Joann Cortez, Water World spokesperson, said. The issue is a failed valve that allowed untreated water from an irrigation pond into the water supply of Water World. "It's not a pool water issue," Cortez said. "It was all about the potential contamination in the concession area." Brian Hlavacek is the environmental health director for the Tri-County Health Department. "It was a backflow prevention device that was installed incorrectly," Hlavacek said. "Then, a power outage really led to a backflow event." He wants to make sure no one using concessions or the drinking fountains can get sick from contaminated water. "Diarrhea, vomiting, fever, those types of things that could be associated with any bacteriological infection, we'd be concerned about," Hlavacek said. Thursday, health department and Water World workers tested all water supplies to make sure the park can open on Friday. "Anything associated with their retail food establishment, their snack bars are all completely disinfected," Hlavacek said. The pools and water slides will have their water "super chlorinated" just in case and Tri-County Health Department officials will perform one final check of the water supply early Friday morning before Water World reopens for business. "It can be serious," Hlavacek said. "We want to make sure we take all necessary steps to protect the public health." In the meantime, Kruse and her family will look for something else to do that's worth the four-hour drive.<doc-sep>'Not A Monster': Devon Erickson's Defense Attorney Says STEM School Shooting Suspect Was 'Confused Kid'Devon Erickson has pleaded not guilty to murder in the deadly shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch on May 7, 2019. 6 hours ago Trail Ridge Road Could Reopen As Soon As Friday At Rocky Mountain National ParkTrail Ridge Road could reopen as soon as Friday in Rocky Mountain National Park, if weather and conditions allow. 7 hours ago DICK's Sporting Goods Park To Operate At Full Capacity Starting July 4DICKS's Sporting Goods Park will hold Colorado Rapids games at full capacity starting July 4.

Health & Fitness Water World Contamination Threat: Theme Park Closes To Sanitize The Federal Heights park is on "sanitizing reset" after irrigation water "likely" got into the park's drinking supply and swimming pools. Reply FEDERAL HEIGHTS, CO – Sorry kids, Water World was closed Thursday, and your parents might get a little nauseated when they find out the reason why. A possibly contaminated water supply, both for the food and beverages served at the aqua-themed park and the splashy rides themselves, was discovered this week by the Tri-County Health Department. Investigators traced the contamination to a power outage followed by a broken valve which was repaired in a way that "likely allowed water from an irrigation pond to flow into the domestic water supply," the health agency said. Untreated water at the park on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday might have affected drinking fountains, ice and food at all concession stands and may also include water in some of the swimming pools, the agency said. Visitors and employees may have been exposed to common pathogens sometimes found in untreated water – including norovirus, giardia, E. coli, cryptosporidium and hepatitis A, the health department said. Health officials advised people who had visited the park Monday through Wednesday to look for symptoms including vomiting, diarrhea and fever, which can appear as soon as 12 hours after exposure, and as long as 45 days after exposure. Anyone who experiences those symptoms who visited the park between June 11-13 should see their doctor and contact the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment at 303-692-2700. "The problem has been corrected, so any possible exposure was limited to those three days. We are notifying the public out of an abundance of caution so that guests can be aware of any symptoms from ingesting untreated water," said John M. Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Dept. The theme park, which bills itself as "America's Largest Water Park," said in a statement that the company daily tests and monitors the water in the swimming pools to make sure water quality "meets or exceeds standards for water safety." On Wednesday, the company closed food concession areas and shut off water fountains, offering free bottled water to patrons, they said. Thursday, the company was flushing and sanitizing all water lines and "basically doing a sanitizing reset on the entire park," they said. "Safety of our guests has always has been our top priority." There are no reported illnesses at this time, the health department said. There was no impact to the City of Federal Heights water distribution system, which is safe, a statement said.
