SAWS is a public utility owned by the City of San Antonio. It was created in May 1992 through the consolidation of three predecessor agencies:

• City Water Board (the previous city-owned water supply utility)
• City Wastewater Department (the city government department responsible for sewage collection and treatment)
• Alamo Water Conservation and Reuse District (an independent city agency created to develop a system for reuse of treated wastewater)

		SAWS Organization & Leadership SAWS management continues to fine-tune the corporate structure to maximize productivity and efficiency.
		Governance: Board of Trustees SAWS is governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees, responsible for overall policy and management of the system. Also in this section: Board Agendas and Board Committee Agendas.
		Service Areas SAWS serves over a million people in central Bexar County and surrounding areas.
