Deep Eddy Pool will be closed for one day next week, which is probably one day too many for the liking of heat-sapped Austinites. It’s for a good cause, though. The historic, spring-fed West Austin landmark – the oldest swimming pool in Texas – will be cleaned on June 27. “The pool is normally closed on the first Tuesday of every month, but the date has been moved up so that it can remain open to the public for the Independence Day holiday,” according to the city.
