San Marcos Electric Utility to begin tree removal, pruning around city

The City of San Marcos Electric Utility will begin tree pruning and removal in the Millview, Springtown and Rio Vista areas on Monday. 

This comes as an effort to improve the safety and reliability of the city’s electrical system. McCoy Tree Surgery is the contractor for the project, which is generally the area bound by the Blanco River, InterstateHighway 35, Post Road and South Guadalupe Street. 

SMEU worked with Citys Urban Forester Kelly Eby to idenfity predominantly non-native hazerdous trees to be removed along with the planned tree pruning to cultivate a long-term approach to scheduled grid maintenance.
