City down a splash zone
Monday, August 13, 2018 by Katy McElroy
After an electrical failure occurred on Thursday afternoon, the city has closed the Liz Carpenter Fountain on Barton Springs Road until further notice. Replacement parts are being procured, and the fountain will be fixed as soon as they are in hand. In the meantime, the city suggests the Ricky Guerrero, Chestnut, Lott and Pease splash pads as alternative cool-off options.
