The city of San Marcos will return to Stage 2 drought restrictions effective Sunday, January 7. The change is in response to rising water source levels at the Edwards Aquifer and Canyon Lake, along with increased water flows in the Comal and San Marcos rivers.
“We have received needed rain and improvement in the drought, which enables us to announce the move to Stage 2 drought restrictions,” says Director of SMTX Utilities Tyler J. Hjorth. “We still encourage our water customers to conserve where possible so that we can make the best use of our water resources.”
Stage 2 drought rules limit the use of sprinklers to one day per week on the designated weekday determined by address. Irrigation using hose-end sprinklers is allowed on the designated weekday before 10 a.m. or after 8 p.m.
