Children Burned By Chlorine At Indiana Water Park

The Porter County Health Department shut down Seven Peaks Waterpark Duneland in Porter on Monday after two children suffered chemical burns from the chlorine in the water of the children’s area when the park opened late last week, officials said. Inspectors with the health department found several violations during an inspection Monday morning, including problems that could have closed the park until they were rectified, said Keith Letta, the department’s administrator. But the children suffering injuries would have led to a temporary closure regardless of the other violations, Letta said.
