Many people consider the heart of the city to be the San Marcos River. Conservation and preservation efforts are critical to protect the river's crystal clear waters and lush natural habitat, Texas State University and the City of San Marcos are sponsoring a design contest for storm drain manhole covers. The idea is to heighten awareness about water quality issues and the impact pollutants have on the San Marcos River.
SB
The contest is part of a joint education effort to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Water Act. This initiative is a unique way to engage and educate the community.
SB
The contest is open to people who live, work, or attend school in San Marcos, including Texas State students.
The submission deadline is November 1st. The winning artist will see his or her design become the standard to be used on all new City storm drain manhole covers.
