There won’t be any splashing at the popular spray pad in Tarentum this week.

The section of Riverview Memorial Park remains closed while officials work to repair an electrical problem.

“Hopefully, we can have it up and running by the weekend,” Council President Scott Dadowski said.

The water park was closed Saturday after an electrical malfunction, Councilwoman Lou Ann Homa said.

It was expected to be a quick fix but has lingered for days.

The borough’s public works department ordered parts to fix the sprinkler Wednesday. Two solenoids were needed and will cost less than $100.

The spray park, along First Avenue near Corbet Street, is open longer-than-usual hours this year. It’s open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
