The Crap Shoot, Is Your Neighborhood Pool Making You Sick? [1]

As of Aug. 13, nearly 162,000 people had alighted on 19 outdoor public pools managed by the city’s Department of Parks and Recreation. That’s a lot of cannonballs, a lot of lifeguard warnings, and a lot of competition for chaise longues. It’s also a lot of feces.
