LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Star City Shores is shutting down temporarily while workers clean up a mess.

Just about 4:30 p.m. Thursday, the Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department announced the pool would be closed through Friday.

Parks and Rec began its Facebook post with “Well,” then added the poop emoji.

The department said staff needed to clean up an “accident” in the pool.

“Our awesome crews never want to close a pool, but there is some cleanup and management of chemicals to get things back on track,” Parks and Rec wrote.

The city hopes the water will be safe by Saturday.

“Remember, if you’re not feeling well (especially if you have tummy troubles), it’s best to skip the pool for everyone’s safety,” the post said.
