PORTSMOUTH — Hundreds of swimmers who planned to have a fun July 4 holiday at the city's outdoor pool at Peirce Island were told Monday morning they had to make other plans.
The city announced the pool was closed due to "apparent acts of vandalism" overnight. Police Sgt. Nick Small said Monday it appears someone jumped the fence and defecated in the pool, though it is not being tested to confirm.
Todd Henley, the city's recreation director, said the pool water must be "shocked and treated" because it's a safety issue. He said the pool is expected to reopen Tuesday.
Henley said a few things were knocked over around the pool but there was no major property damage. Small referred to it as a "trespassing issue." Police were investigating.
