SAN MARCOS – As the relentless rainfall continues to sweep across Central Texas, the drought rules are being reduced in San Marcos.
Water restrictions have been condensed to Stage 1 thanks to the rainfall. The new restriction will take effect on Sept. 16 at noon.
The rules restrict the use of sprinklers to one day per week on a day designated based on residents’ addresses. Hose-end sprinklers will be allowed for irrigation on the designated day before 10 a.m. and after 8 p.m.
