SAN MARCOS, Texas (KXAN) – A ban on single-use beverage containers on the San Marcos River within the city limits of San Marcos will go into effect on May 1.
The San Marcos City Council gave final approval to the “can ban” Tuesday night. The motion for the ordinance passed earlier this month.
The ban will allow only one 30-quart cooler per person on public waterways. There will be no limitations within the riverfront parks, according to council documents.
Nearby cities New Braunfels and Martindale have already adopted “can bans” prohibiting disposable containers on the rivers.
