City says Rio Vista Falls up for emergency repairs

The city announced on Friday that parts of the San Marcos River at Rio Vista Falls will join the swimming hole below Spring Lake Dam in being adorned with yellow caution tape.

Damage from “past flooding, including the 2015 floods, is forcing the city of San Marcos to make emergency repairs,” the press release said.

Though not closing the area to recreation, the city said the parks department is “warning the public to use caution until repairs are made” and that the yellow tape will soon be replaced with “secure fencing.”
