Conservation
San Antonio's cheapest source of water is conservation water we don't use. That's why our proven conservation programs have become a cornerstone of the community's long-term water management strategy. With your help, we can keep SAWS rates among the lowest in the nation while saving tomorrow's water today.

Drought rules and stages help all of us effectively manage water use based on specific levels of the Edwards Aquifer.
