Deep Eddy Pool was not opening on time in the morning as drought lowered well levels, so it was taking longer for the pool to refill from several on-site wells. The spring-fed pool is drained each evening and refilled with clean water the next day. Regular maintenance in January may help. The wells have also become clogged with a gunky substance.
