A swim school was closed Sunday morning after an employee discovered a chemical leak in a mechanical room and called 9-1-1.
Hazardous Materials personnel from South Metro Fire Rescue responded to Waterworks Aquatics Highlands Ranch, 8980 Barrons Boulevard, at 8:50 a.m.
Crews determined a pump had failed and leaked muriatic acid overnight, according to South Metro spokesman Eric Hurst. The acid leaked onto the floor of the mechanical room and underneath a door to the sidewalk outside, Hurst said. No other parts of the facility were affected, Hurst said. “An environmental cleanup company has been called in to pick up the neutralized material,” Hurst added.
Final Update: The acid spill has been neutralized and the incident is under control. Hazmat Team personnel packaged the material and were decontaminated. Crews will be on scene for a while longer picking up equipment.
