schoolie Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I'm planning a big greenbelt day Friday... does anyone know if the Zilker fountains are running? Last time I was down there a few weeks ago, they were still off due to the cold snap. On that note, is there anywhere else in/near the greenbelt where water's publicly available? Seems like there was a fountain near some tennis courts somewhere, but it's been so long since I filled up there I can't remember where it was, lol. Thanks!

mack_turtle Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 The VCT entrance near Spec's (Ben White / Brodie) was still off the last time I checked maybe two weeks ago. So far as I can tell, that water has been turned off for a year "because COVID." I contacted VCT to ask about this and that's what they said. I sent them a link to an article from the CDC stating that is nonsense but they ignored it. Can anyone in ARR contact them about that BS? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoolie Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Called 311, they said the fountains at Zilker are on... we'll see! Also, I remembered the TacoDeli at Spyglass as a backup in case that doesn't work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schoolie Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 Thanks for the info guys! My immediate need is over, did the big run today ☺️. Didn't end up needing a water stop today anyway, so we didn't confirm that the Zilker fountains were actually on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonioGG Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 It's not at Austin high. It's the outdoor shower and water fountains at the Town Lake trailhead. I use the shower to fill the bottles. I wish they had a bottle filler like they do at Brushy Creek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
