An indoor water park in northern Illinois is still closed months after a health department found health and safety violations.
The Winnebago County Health Department closed CoCo Key at the Clock Tower Resort in August, the Rockford Register Star reports. The health department found pools with too little chlorine, a lack of certified pool operators and other problems.
Steve Hsu is president of Texas-based Beltway Hospitality, which manages the hotel and waterpark. He tells the Rockford newspaper the company is addressing the health and safety violations, but a malfunctioning temperature control system will cost $200,000 and take four months to replace.
A message on the water park's website reads: "CoCo Key will be closed due to maintenance we apologize for any Iiconvenience."
The newspaper says the water park won't be able to reopen without city and health department approval. Fines assessed total $250,000.
