Officials are hoping to have the park reopened by the end of the month.
The Director of Parks and Recreation for Ross Township told Channel 11 that it was not a line break that caused the issue. Township officials are following the guidance of the Allegheny County Board of Health in terms of what to do and how to clean up the mess to the ground near the playground and a pond.
The pond will be tested as well.
In the meantime, people who have rented out the building will move to the township's community center.
