FEATURED IMPACT NOWOPEN The San Marcos Activity Center , located at 510 E. Hopkins St., San Marcos, reopened May 2 after being closed since late October due to water damage from a pipe failure, causing several inches of water to cover the facility.

The Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool is in the process of assessing the cause of the pipe failure. The city suspended membership payments in October, and automatic payments will resume being drafted June 1. “We are excited to welcome our members and guests back to the San Marcos Activity Center.
