SAWS operates a district cooling system (DCS) to provide an alternative cost-effective way to cool buildings. Large buildings and manufacturing facilities typically use chilled water for cooling purposes, but the necessary equipment takes up valuable space and costs millions of dollars. This is where SAWS comes in! SAWS operates a DCS in downtown and Port San Antonio that efficiently and economically cool large buildings through a network of underground pipes.
