The Junction City Municipal Pool closed early today due to a water main break in the area of West 5th Street and North Eisenhower Drive.

Erica Howard, Municipal Pool Assistant Manager, said their water supply has been affected. “We don’t have water to run our restrooms or our concession stand, so we’re going to close the facility today at 4:00 pm.”

The City has given pool staff  the go-ahead to close early. Public Works officials have reported that the water may not be restored until tomorrow morning; Howard said that if they still don’t have water when it is time to open they will close once again.

“I would just recommend that patrons call the facility and double check [that we are open] before coming,” said Howard.

The pool is open from 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm daily; their phone number is 762-6422.
