Today the same principle applies to water. Every day millions
of gallons of recycled water are produced at four Water
Recycling Centers owned and operated by the San Antonio Water
System.
In 1996 the SAWS Board approved a Water Recycling plan that
will deliver 35,000 acre feet of this highly treated effluent
to commercial and industrial users throughout the city.
Today the program consists of a planned 64-mile pipeline going
around the entire city delivering recycled water to customers
for non-drinking purposes.
