Our drinking water meets or exceeds all federal drinking water requirements. This Water Quality Report is a summary about the drinking water San Antonio Water System (SAWS) provides our customers.
The data in this report was prepared from the most recent
required tests set by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). Public water systems, like SAWS, are required
by law to report every year on the type and quantity of
substances that are in our water. This law – the Safe Drinking
Water Act (SDWA) amended by Congress in 1996 – has
specific guidelines concerning drinking water quality, as well
as the methods and frequency of testing.
The EPA with assistance locally from the Texas Commission
on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) administers the SDWA
to ensure that tap water is safe to drink by restricting the
presence of contaminants in public water systems. In
addition, SAWS tests the quality of water daily.
Our Commitment to You
SAWS is genuinely committed to
providing our customers with
plentiful, quality and affordable
drinking water. Historically,
SAWS and its predecessors
have been rated by the Texas
Commission on Environmental
Quality as a superior water system
since 1936.
Your confidence in San Antonio’s water supply is important
to us. We hope this information will help you become more
knowledgeable about your drinking water.
