<br />Sector Five <br /> <br />Chapter 2 - Today <br /> <br />Community Facilities <br /> <br />Police, Fire and Emergency Medical Service Protection <br />Sector Five is located in the Baker and David Police Patrol Districts. Fire protection in <br />Sector Five is provided from the Broadway Street Station on Broadway east of Parkdale. <br />Emergency Medical Service is provided by San Marcos/Hays County EMS. The only <br />hospital in San Marcos, Central Texas Medical Center, is located in Sector Five. <br /> <br />Water and Wastewater Systems <br />Water and wastewater service throughout the city is provided by the City of San Marcos. <br />There are three large waterlines that serve Sector Five: one runs along Wonder World <br />Drive, another along Clovis Barker Road to the Civic Center Loop, and the last runs <br />along Highway 123. The main wastewater line runs along IH-3S from Centerpoint Road <br />to the end of Patricia Drive. Some residents still have septic systems, but as units are <br />sold, hookup to the city's wastewater system is required of new owners. <br /> <br />Electric Service <br />The majority of the electric service in Sector Five is provided by the City of San Marcos. <br />However, the areas east of the fish hatchery along Staples Road and the San Marcos <br />Factory Shop are served by Bluebonnet, a privately owned electric cooperative. In <br />addition, the Tanger Factory Outlet Center is served by Pedernales, another privately <br />owned electric cooperative. <br /> <br />Solid Waste Collection <br />The City of San Marcos contracts with Browning-Ferris Industries (BFI) to provide <br />residential garbage collection in the area. Commercial establishments, and some non- <br />residential developments, contract with private collection companies. <br /> <br />Natural Gas <br />Entex, Inc., is the supplier of natural gas in San Marcos. <br /> <br />Education <br />The San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District (SMCISD) has four public <br />schools located in Sector Five: Bowie Elementary School (K-4), DeZavala Elementary <br />School (5th-6th grade), Owen Goodnight Junior High School (8th grade), and San <br />Marcos High School (9th-12th grade) are all located east of IH-3S between Wonder <br />World Drive and Staples Road. <br /> <br />Adopted: April 22, 2002 <br /> <br />2-18 <br />
