Bad Water On 30-a--health Hazard!

[Camp Creek Kid]

Does anyone know who to contact regarding this situation. I called the Adagio management office and they acted like they never heard about this. When further pressed all they would say was that they got a clean bill of health. Maybe since this thread got started over a week and a half ago I shouldn't worry but I'd like to know what to expect. Last year it was Dennis I had to worry about. Now this year it's DIARRHEA! Gross!

In general, the water is SoWal is fine. There are occasional isolated problems due to construction (just like anywhere else), but there have been no announcements of any major water problems anywhere on 30-A. Call Regional Utilities 850-231-5114 to put your mind at ease. SoWal does NOT have bad water and I resent Shelly's comment that it is like Mexico.

This is actually a pretty interesting thread for our family. We were vacationing the same week as the first poster and 4/6 adults got sick with what we thought was the flu! We were staying in Santa Rosa Beach between Snapperheads and Santa Rosa Beach Club. My 2 year old was sick with the flu a few days before we left for vacation, so we all thought we must have gotten the bug from him. Who knows? Maybe we had yucky water the week we were there too!

I definitely know the SoWal water is fine and NOT like Mexico. We've never had to worry about it and even though we usually buy big water jugs for our drinking water I've used the tap for making tea, lemonade, etc...also our place has a great ice maker that we use the entire vacation. Other places I've stayed in Florida have had bad smelling water that makes showering even yucky. I've never experienced that anywhere in SoWal. Thanks for the number for Regional Utilities just to put my mind at ease. We're just looking forward to some funn and relaxation...7 days and counting! :clap_1:

I hear there is some kind of nasty stomach flu going around nationally.
My nephew and family had to postpone a flight home due to it and took him to a doctor in Boca Raton. They hydrated him, gave him some meds for nausea and they took a flight the next evening.
They were going back to Texas from Orlando Disney. They thought it was food poisoning or something else, but then when they got home a few days later everyone was feeling sick.

Doesn't sound like E Coli. It sounds like Giardia. Here is some brief info on symptoms and treatment. I have had Giardia and it is no fun, and certainly not funn.

Giardia can be contracted from contaminated pool water it says there too.
I am not saying that is what happened at Adagio. Suppose no one will know for sure. Sorry your family had to endure that Alabama.

Occasionally though,people bring young children in the pools with NO swimmies on (those bathing diapers they sell in the store)
and twice within the past 2 seasons the pool had to be shut down and cleaned and shocked to death because a poop was found floating.
I also see people bringing in infants in the pools. Not for anything, but swimmie or not, you can not predict when an infant will go potty. At least with toddlers, parents have a better timing for when their children have to go potty, and should remove them from the pools when they sense that time is near.
