A new report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) raises the question on how clean pool water actually is after revealing that more than half of the public pools in the United States are often contaminated by fecal matter.
The CDC report said that over 58 percent of public pools in the country which they tested were positive for the presence of E.coli.
The agency added that E.coli bacteria is usually found in human feces and their presence in the public pools was a marker that either some of the swimmers experienced a fecal incident in the pool or had not rinsed themselves properly before entering the pool.
