The popular wading pool at Olympic Plaza has been temporarily shut down by health officials.

On Wednesday, Alberta Health Services ordered the downtown splash pad closed after water samples showed a high presence of coliform, or fecal matter. The notice of closure said the bacteria could be “injurious or dangerous to the public health” and “might hinder, in any manner, the prevention or suppression of disease.”

“We know that the Olympic Plaza Reflecting Pool is a special part of downtown Calgary, providing enjoyment to children and families in the summer. It is our responsibility to ensure that it’s safe,” read a statement from Alberta Health Services.

“Water testing has indicated the presence of coliforms in the water. Wading pools are often used by a higher risk population, such as young children, which increases the risk of ingestion of water.”

Officials said they have not received any complaints of illness related to use of the wading pool but recommend anyone feeling ill after entering the water to seek medical attention. They said the health risk is low.
