Round Hill Spray Park is reopening on Friday after having been closed for a week, the Allegheny County parks and health departments announced.

The Elizabeth Township spray park had been closed since Aug. 2 because bacteria levels in the water exceeded Health Department regulations.

The system was drained of water, cleaned and refilled with fresh water, which the county said was “super-chlorinated” to sanitize all plumbing and fixtures.

The Health Department tested the water and approved reopening it.

The park is open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
