San Marcos Springs flow 93 CFS!

The Spring flow recently dropped to 77 CFS.  Today the flow is 93 but without rain it is sure to drop more.  Remember to use water wisely, the high temperatures have begun earlier than usual and promise to continue.

DON'T SQUEEZE TEXAS DRY! Join our efforts to conserve water!  See these "Tips for Saving Water!"
