Brain-eating amoeba scare closes Arlington splash pads
SUMMARY: The City of Arlington in Texas has closed all its pools and splash pads after a potential detection of a brain-eating amoeba. The sample was collected at California Lane Park. This precautionary measure comes after a young boy died from the same amoeba in 2021 at a different splash pad in Arlington. In response to the previous incident, the city invested $650,000 in safety measures, including increased chlorination and a UV light system. The city has been working with the Environmental Protection Agency to test its water, and results are expected soon. However, delays caused by a recent hurricane in Gainesville, Florida may impact the timing.
