San Antonio Water System welcomed four new members to the SAWS Board of Trustees. The new Trustees were sworn in at the beginning of their first board meeting June 2.

"Our new members come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, and will bring new vision and leadership to our Board," said SAWS President/CEO Robert R. Puente. "We look forward to working with them to ensure that our customers continue to receive plentiful, quality and affordable water."

SAWS is governed by the San Antonio Water System Board of Trustees, which consists of the Mayor and six members appointed by the City Council. Each member is appointed for a four-year term, and no member may serve more than two terms.

SAWS welcomed to its Board of Trustees:

• Mayor Julián Castro, Ex Officio Member;
  
• Samuel E. Luna, an Adjunct Professor of Architecture at San Antonio College and member of the city's Historic and Design Review Commission;
  
• Elizabeth M. Provencio, a local attorney with nine years of multi-state litigation including a concentrated caseload in Texas state and federal courts; and
  
• Louis E. Rowe, former District 9 City Councilman and partner in engineering firm Goetting and Associates. Rowe also served for many years as a member of the Board for the San Antonio River Authority (SARA).
