AUSTIN – The Austin's Parks and Recreation Department closed Barton Springs Pool on Wednesday due to an unusual level of turbidity in the water.

• Cause of cloudiness unknown
• Pool will be cleaned tomorrow

Higher turbidity means the water is cloudier than usual. 

Austin Parks and Recreation cannot yet confirm the cause of the cloudy water and an investigation is currently underway. The Barton Springs Pool is usually cleaned every Thursday and the situation will be re-evaluated following the cleaning.

Deep Eddy Pool will open at 6 a.m. on Thursday to accommodate early morning swimmers.
