While surprise rains generated some green around San Antonio, they did not bring us out of drought. It will take many more steady rainfalls to overcome the last five years of less-than-adequate rain.
Meanwhile, Stage 3 watering rules remain in effect. This means it’s still important to water only on your assigned day (based on street address).
It’s also important to keep in mind that all residential water use over 20,000 gallons will be subject to additional surcharges on your bill. The same rules apply to landscape watering for businesses with surcharge amounts based on meter size.
All have an assigned watering day and time based on address. For locations with no obvious address (like medians), the watering day is Wednesday.
If you spot a possible watering rules violation, report it at saws.org/waterwaste. Violations are never issued based on citizen reports, but we will follow up with a warning to let the owner know there’s a problem that needs to be addressed and the location will be monitored for compliance.
