Three Loudoun County youngsters who suffered “a burning sensation” in their lungs after swimming in the Clarke County pool recently, caused local officials to shut down the gas chlorinator used to purify the pool’s water.
Larry W. Johnson, Jr., age 9, James L. Johnson, 7, and Valerie G. Boston, 12, were treated at Winchester Medical Center for shortness of breath, possibly caused by an inhalation of chlorine gas, according to a hospital spokesman.
Gayle Dorman, president of the Clarke County Parks and Recreation Council, said a new system involving cakes of chlorine in a sealed cylinder may be used in the future.
There was speculation the youngsters swam through a bubble of undisolved chlorine gas in the pool. County Administrator Robert Lee said there might have been a problem in the return lines which allowed some gas back into the pool.
Dorman said he called the families of each of the youngsters after the incident and all were doing fine.
Fauquier regulates
satellite dishes
Fauquier County is cracking down on satellite dishes used to pull television signals into the predominately rural county.
Responding to increasing citizen complaints about unregulated placement of the dishes, county supervisors recently passed an ordinance to control the attennas. New county regulations limit the dishes’ height and stipulate how they are to be mounted and screened.
The new ordinance is based on regulations used in neighboring counties, according to Fauquier Planning Director Richard McNear.
