Swimming at Jacob's Well suspended due to high bacteria levels

One of Hays County’s most popular tourist attractions and arguably its best swimming hole is off limits for the foreseeable future.

On Wednesday Jacob’s Well near Wimberley was closed by Hays County who issued a notice on its website and on social media that conditions were unsafe due to high bacteria levels.

“The threat of high bacteria levels, other pollutants and poor visibility conditions are unsafe for swimming,” the post read. “We will monitor conditions and update information on our website and social media.”
