For real!! Who treating the water?
I think with our lack of regulations and recourse to the courts people would be mad to go to a "water park" in this place.
They have problems even in the US where they do have enforced regulations.
Remember a woman was dead at the bottom of the pool for three days at one of them? No one saw her because of how murky the water was. WTF!?

Business as usual at Harry’s Water Park
The assurance was given by Sahadeo Ragoonanan, a director of the entertainment facility in Rio Claro.
On Tuesday, the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) disconnected the supply of water to the facility, claiming the establishment had an illegal connection. The authority also laid charges of making an illegal water connection against the facility’s owner, Harrypersad Ragoonanan. That matter comes up for hearing on September 27. Harrypersad, in an interview Tuesday night, denied he had an illegal connection to his businessplace. In a statement yesterday, Sahadeo Ragoonanan said: “WASA has disconnected the supply to the facility but we use recycled treated water for the water slides and other facilities at the park.
“This water is also used for the washrooms but is not used for drinking or cooking. We have taken steps to ensure we have an adequate supply to run the operations.” “I want to assure all the people who are coming to the water park to enjoy themselves as we are operating as usual. “We are taking the normal measures to ensure that all hygienic requirements are met. The comfort of our patrons is of paramount importance.” He said patrons would normally bring in their own drinking and cooking water or buy it from the park’s bar and food court. He maintained the park did not have any illegal or un-authorised water connections. The director said the company would meet with their lawyers to decide on a course of action.

HARRY'S Water Park in Tabaquite remained open yesterday, although the water supply to the facility was disconnected by the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA).
Harrypersad Ragoonanan, owner of the multi-million dollar park, said he would not be intimidated by threats to shut down his business.
"I have enough water to keep the park in operation and if WASA refuses to reconnect me then I will buy water to run my park. I cannot afford to close down this park. I invested plenty money into it and will lose,'' he said.
However, Ragoonanan suggested that patrons walk with bottled drinking water.
WASA officials disconnected the water supply on Tuesday and charged Ragoonanan with making an illegal connection. Ragoonanan has denied the allegation and is seeking legal advice.
"I have all my bills up-to-date and I have never made an illegal connection.
WASA workers have been conducting an investigation for the past seven months and I have given them all access to my premises. I have been helping them with whatever they wanted. I don't think someone with something to hide would be doing that,'' he said.
Ragoonanan said he was never informed of the charges against him and was unaware that he was expected to appear before a Rio Claro magistrate on September 27.
"I am hearing all of this on the news. WASA never showed me a document stating that I would be disconnected and the company never tell me anything about charges and court,'' he said.
Ragoonanan said the disconnection has come during his peak period.
"If I close the park during the July/August vacation I will lose about $2 to $3 million.
This is my peak time, after this it is really slow for the rest of the year,'' he said.
Ragoonanan has retained an attorney and is seeking a meeting with WASA's acting chief executive officer, Ganga Singh.
"I am a devout Hindu and I can swear on the holy books that I did not do anything wrong. I have nothing to hide here. I cannot make that kind of connection on my own. I don't know anything about an illegal connection,'' he said.
Ragoonanan said the water in his swimming pools is self-cycled and treated with chlorine. The water from WASA pipelines, he said, is used for drinking at the sheds, bar and food court.
WAS's communications manager, Ellen Lewis, said investigations carried out over several months revealed that there was an illegal connection to a WASA transmission main that channelled water via gravity into the waterpark.
Lewis, in a release, stated that WASA also found evidence that a PVC main near the park was tampered with. She said while the waterpark was being billed for using between 11,000 to 15,000 gallons of water a day, the actual usage was estimated to be 30,000 gallons per day.
Ragoonanan responded: "This is not true. I am asking WASA to come in with a meter and measure the amount of water being used. They need to be more open and accurate in doing things. I have nothing to hide.''
