(KTTS) – Crews have located the cause of a leak at the Nixa city swimming pool.

Officials say the leak is coming from a 90 degree pipe fitting which has cracked approximately 8 feet underground.

The leak is located under the concrete pad surrounding the pool and will  require digging through the pool deck.

The Nixa Parks & Recreation Department have identified possible contractors qualified to perform the repair work, and research into cost and scheduling have begun.

The Nixa Parks Department hopes to have the pool back open as soon as possible.
