The Water Delivery system conveys ground water to customers through elevated and ground storage tanks, pumps stations and transmission and distribution mains. The system consists of approximately 4,000 miles of transmission and distribution mains, 14 primary and 21 secondary pump stations, 25 booster stations and 58 elevated and ground storage tanks.

The Water Delivery CIP includes programs and projects designed to expand and improve water production, storage and transmission facilities in the SAWS service area.

The 2008 CIP Water Delivery program includes the design and construction of projects to address critical low-pressure and low-flow areas that need to be addressed to assure continued sufficient flows for fire protection. The 2008 CIP funds projects proposed in the Water Master Plan to ensure that sufficient potable water service is available to meet growth within the SAWS service area. The selection of projects helps maintain the implementation schedule for water production, distribution, and storage facility improvements recommended in the Water Infrastructure Master Plan. Upgrades, replacements and rehabilitations of production facilities to maintain system integrity and meet Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requirements are also included.

The focus of the 2008 Production Capital Improvement Program is to address regulatory and code issues within the water production systems. The program is broken out into two major components; 1) water production growth, and 2) water production repair and replacement. The growth portion primarily addresses TCEQ mandates related to the need for additional elevated storage capacity in various pressure zones. For this purpose, the program funds land acquisition and design services of several new water storage facilities and transmission mains deemed necessary to support the projected growth. It also provides funding for the initiation of a pump station rehabilitation program geared to addressing assurance of compliance with applicable codes, while at the same time completing a full recapitalization of the facilities. Several neighborhood water main replacement projects are scheduled for completion. The Water Delivery program also funds a portion of the Automated Meter Reading project.
