How You Can Help

Like many people you've probably taken for granted that we will always have enough water. Unfortunately, with the long periods of drought that this area has been experiencing, that's not necessarily true. And as our population grows, the strain on San Antonio's primary source of water, The Edwards Aquifer, increases.

We want to encourage citizens to continue to conserve as we strive to provide the people of San Antonio with the highest quality water in Texas. We can't do this alone. We need you and everyone to become proactive, be a WaterSaver!
