The water games at the Plaza de Toros park in Marbella reopen to the public

The Marbella City Council has reopened the aquatic elements of the children's play area in the Plaza de Toros neighborhood to the public after carrying out a comprehensive hygienic and sanitary maintenance plan to ensure safety and compliance with the regulations established against Legionnaires' disease. The intervention also includes the weekly cleaning and disinfection of drinking water cisterns and interior networks up to the terminal points, the taking of physical and chemical, bacteriological samples, and specific tests for the detection of legionella, and the control of the installation's risk systems. The actions will be certified by qualified personnel and will be carried out using proven technologies, such as treatment with electronized water, which is non-toxic and biodegradable, allowing effective disinfection with a low environmental impact. The analyses are performed by accredited laboratories to ensure the reliability and validity of the results. In the event of any positive result, a municipal action protocol would be activated with the managers of the Parks and Gardens service. The staff carrying out the work has specific training approved by the Junta de Andalucía and experience in tasks related to the control of legionellosis. The children's leisure space in the Plaza de Toros neighborhood will remain open to the public until September 15 during the park's regular hours.
