Outdoor Public Restrooms will Remain Open from 8am until 4 pm
(Evansville, IN) – Sunrise Pump Station’s lobby and indoor restrooms will be closed to the public on Monday, April 8, Solar Eclipse Day. Outdoor public restrooms will remain open from 8 am until 4 pm. EWSU officials decided to close the building after careful consideration. It was determined that the pump station would not be a good place to view the eclipse. The building and upper observation deck are surrounded by security lights that automatically turn on when sunlight dims, which will make it difficult to see the eclipse. Public safety is also a concern because of a large influx of people expected to visit Evansville that day. EWSU does not have staff to manage a large crowd.
The pump station lobby and observation deck will reopen to the public on Tuesday, April 9, at 8:00 am.
