Update (June 15):

The Loudoun County Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS) announced that the boil water advisory at Franklin Park was lifted on Sunday, June 14. All water sources on the Franklin Park property, including drinking fountains, bathroom sinks and showers, have returned to regular operation and may be used for drinking and all other purposes.

Out of an abundance of caution, the Virginia Department of Health’s Office of Drinking Water issued a boil water advisory for the park on Friday, June 12 due to a temporary pressure issue with the water system at Franklin Park

Original Post:

Drinking Water Temporarily Unavailable at Franklin Park; Opening of Pool & Splash Pad Not Affected

The Loudoun County Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS) is advising patrons at Franklin Park not to drink water from any source on the property. Out of an abundance of caution, the Virginia Department of Health’s Office of Drinking Water has issued a boil water advisory for the park, which relies on an independent water system for its potable water. Neighboring homes and businesses are not impacted. The precaution is necessary due to a pressure issue with the water system at Franklin Regional Park.

This temporary precaution affects drinking water at the park and pool facilities; however, the pool and splash pad are not affected and remain open because those recreational facilities use an alternate water source that is not impacted by the precautionary measure.

PRCS has posted signs throughout the park facilities notifying patrons to not consume water from the drinking fountains, bathroom sinks or showers on park property until further notice. PRCS will provide bottled drinking water at the Franklin Park pool and splash pad, the Franklin Park administrative office, and the Franklin Park Performing and Visual Arts Center until the water pressure issue is resolved. Visitors are also encouraged to bring their own bottled drinking water to Franklin Park and the Franklin Park pool.

According to the Virginia Department of Health website, the drinking water precautions do not impact the use of tap water for hygiene (washing hands/showering) after water pressure drops due to equipment failure or power outages. Restroom facilities and showers will remain available at the park for normal use.

Loudoun County staff are actively working to address the pressure issue to restore normal operations as soon as possible.
