Scenario 5 (Go to Crater Lenghts, Great Caldera Safari Park) Habitat Cleanlyness, Water, Bug, FIXED!

I am at scenario 5 at the moment. And after like 5 Minutes of playing suddenly the Elephant/Zebra and Giraff/Springbock habitat gett 50% cleanlyness and everyone get's sick.

I can't fix this. There is no poop, the water is clean and cleaned by 3 working pumps. I replaced pumps in case they bug. I tried to exclude the water from the rest of the habitat, didn't change anything.
Deleting the water is not possible in this scenario so I can't do that.

I also tried to delete the entrances, so for a moment the habitat will not be a habitat anymore, and place an entrance again to "reset" it. But as soon as I do that, the game crashes.

Restarted scenario and game for the 6th time now, I don't know what else to do anymore.

Ugh that one is horrible. The only walkthrough I saw to get gold cheated. I've seen people wall off the water first thing to keep animals from getting sick in the first place... But if you've tried that, I'm not sure. I got bronze and then immediately went on to the next scenario.

I believe there is a known bug affecting this scenario (which I think has been raised on Frontier's forums). I don't know if it's cheating as the previous poster has said, but I managed to (mostly) avoid the animals getting sick by fencing off the central lake and setting up drinking stations within the original elephant/zebra and giraffe/springbok habitats. Doing this made the elephant enclosure too small for their needs though, once I'd built the swimming pool the elephants needed, so I had to move them out to a bigger habitat. I did eventually get gold in that scenario by doing that.

Uff. I finally did it after the 10th time!
So for everyone who may read this, here is how I did it:

First, you pause that game. Second, you fence all the water out of all habitats. No matter if it says it's blue and clean, it is LYING! Fence it out.
Don't put new water in, it will also make em sick.

Then you pause the game, delete the habitat door and hit undo. This will reset the habitat, since if you do not do it it will still count the water in and cleanlyness will stay low. Then, when you are IN PAUSE, you save the game and reload. Because if you unpause, the game will crash, but with saving (after replacing doors) and reloading, then unpause, it will not crash.
That fixes the cleanlyness thing, but we are not ready.

My animals were like "Oh you did a new fence? pffft. We will just walk trough it as if nothing happend!"
So INSIDE of the new fence, I build a huge wall made of rocks. Everywhere. And the "Do not go near rocks" space Finally stopped them from walking trough the fence, drinking the filthy water.

Now I got gold, and I never wanna look at that scenario ever again.

Thanks for all this info, it's pretty useful, hope it will help me win this scenario. Also, I noticed the zookeepers might get blocked under an arch, at the entrance, it stops them from ever going to the animals.

Mechanics get blocked too down by the water treatment station. I just started this scenario and couldn't figure it out, I'll try some of these tips out too so I can at least get bronze and move on.
