San Marcos to enter Stage 3 Drought Restrictions

CITY OF SAN MARCOS

Due to drought and weather conditions, the City of San Marcos will enter Stage 3 drought restrictions effective Sunday, Oct. 27 at noon. Stage 3 imposes significant measures under the city’s updated Conservation and Drought Contingency Ordinance. This is the first time San Marcos has reached this stage since the ordinance was updated on April 16, 2024.

Stage 3 is implemented when the city’s available water resources – including the Edwards Aquifer, Canyon Lake, Alliance Regional Water Authority and Canyon Regional Water Authority reach levels that require immediate and substantial conservation efforts.
