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

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.
