Chlorine Mishap Injures at Least 20 at California Waterpark

A high concentration of chlorine was released into the wave pool at a waterpark in Sacramento, Calif., Monday afternoon, sending at least 20 people - including nine children and three park employees - to area hospitals. A faulty pump at the privately owned and operated Raging Waters, located at the Cal Expo Fairgrounds, is being blamed. Doug Osborn, spokesman for the Sacramento County Environmental Management Department, told local reporters that when one pump stopped working, it created a backup of chlorine that was flushed out when the secondary pump was turned on.

Lifeguards managed the wave pool, which is expected to remain closed until the accident has been fully investigated.
