Apparent chemical leak keeps water park closed
Sunday - 6/12/2011, 3:05pm ET
MANASSAS PARK, Va. (AP) - A popular northern Virginia water park remains closed as officials investigate an apparent chemical leak that sent six children to the hospital.

Signal Bay Water Park in Manassas Park was evacuated Saturday afternoon after reports of a chemical smell and the appearance of a yellow plume in a shallow pool intended for young children.

Medics checked out at least a dozen children, some of whom vomited. Manassas Park city manager Jim Zumwalt says six were hospitalized, and one was kept overnight for observation.

Zumwalt says he expects the outdoor water park to reopen next weekend as scheduled. He says a technician will be checking the water system this week to figure out what went wrong and fix it.
