Whitewater Junction faces unexpected repair, to remain open through Monday

ROCK ISLAND, Ill. (KWQC) - It’s opening weekend for many pools across the QCA, but one on the Illinois side of the river is now having to address an unexpected mechanical issue.

Whitewater Junction posted to Facebook that they want everyone to know that they’re working to address a significant water leak in the pool system.

The pool will remain open for Memorial Day weekend, as scheduled on Sunday and Monday, from noon to 6 p.m., staff said. Then, on Tuesday, the waterpark will temporarily close while repairs are completed.

At this time, staff said they anticipate to be closed at least Tuesday through Friday, with the possibility of a longer closure depending on what is found once the pool is drained and inspected.

“Our team will be working hard to resolve the issue as quickly as possible so we can continue the season without further interruption,” the post said. “We will continue to share updates as more information becomes available. We truly appreciate your patience, understanding, and support as we work through this unexpected repair.”
