Water Service Disruptions in Bexar County and Santa Barbara Due to Contractor Mishaps

Originally Published 2 years ago — by KSAT San Antonio

Nine businesses in northwest Bexar County, Texas, lost water service after a non-SAWS contractor accidentally cut into a 12-inch water main while attempting to add a new line of service. The businesses were without water service for a day until multiple San Antonio Water System (SAWS) crews stepped in to rebuild the connection, aiming to have the businesses reopen by Thursday morning.

Water Conservation Measures in San Antonio Remain in Place Despite Aquifer Decline

Originally Published 2 years ago — by KSAT San Antonio

Despite the Edwards Aquifer reaching its lowest level in nearly a decade, San Antonio Water System (SAWS) customers will not face stricter watering rules but can expect citations for violations. SAWS officials stated that customers can still follow the current Stage 2 rules, which limit watering to once a week based on assigned days. Increased patrol and ticket citations will be implemented in areas where water levels drop beyond normal demand. First-time offenders may receive citations with fines of up to $150. SAWS is able to meet the cutback requirement through conservation and non-Edwards water sources without passing them on to customers.
