SISSETON, S.D. (AP) - Two North Dakota parents are suing the City of Sisseton and others, claiming their young daughter got sick after swimming in the local pool and suffered permanent kidney damage.
A federal lawsuit filed by Christopher and Katie Cameron of West Fargo says the 8-year-old girl was diagnosed with E.coli at the Sanford Fargo Medical Center a few days after swimming in the Sisseton pool last July.
The lawsuit claims at least four other children were sickened as well, KELO-TV reported.
The South Dakota Department of Health says a definitive source of the illness was not identified.
The Camerons, who are also suing the Sisseton Swimming Pool Association and its director, David Staub, are asking for damages exceeding $75,000.
Staub said the pool underwent standard water testing procedures and there were no findings of contaminated water.
