COPPERAS COVE, Texas (KXXV) — The City of Copperas Cove Parks & Recreation Department has temporarily closed the City Park Pool at 1206 W. Avenue B due to the upcomingBell County Water Control and Improvement District (WCID) pipeline project.
The closure will begin Tuesday, May 27, and continue through Friday, May 30, 2025, provided the project remains on schedule.
