Deep Eddy: You’re not shallow

Those who enjoy splashing around in the shallow end of Deep Eddy Pool may take this news hard: Due to a mechanical problem with a well pump, the shallow end of the pool will be closed for the remainder of the year. The pool will also need to be closed three days a week because, with a broken pump, it takes longer to fill the pool. The parks department’s Aquatics Division is working hard to repair the pump so that normal winter operating hours may resume. In the meantime, swimmers can still make a splash in the shallow ends of Barton Springs, Bartholomew, Big Stacy and Springwoods pools.
