Commonwealth Stadium, which a city board decided last week to not allow to be watered, will be the recipient of water from the pool at Woodland Park. Tates Creek and Avon golf courses, both owned by the city, will get a drink from nearby pools. Bob Ramsey, the city's commissioner of general services, said none of the 12 pools that closed Sunday will be drained just yet. The water in some of them will be used for plants and trees downtown, he said. Ramsey also said the city might have to close the Southland and Castlewood pools before Labor Day, when they are scheduled to shut down for the year.
Many courses take water from their own ponds.
