SAWS Adding Areas Cleared of Boil Water Notice
Additional results have been processed
SAN ANTONIO – Additional areas of San Antonio can now use their tap water without boiling, San Antonio Water System announced Sunday.
After completing the required water quality sampling, and in consultation with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) SAWS scientists determined that additional areas of San Antonio will be released from the Boil Water Notice immediately. SAWS is continuing to test water samples from other pressure zones to release additional areas soon.
A map of the areas released from the boil water notice is attached to this release and shown with a green color. Please use the interactive version to check whether your specific address no longer requires boiling water at www.saws.org/freeze. The Boil Water Notice remains in effect for all other areas of the city not shown in green on the map.
While the notice has been lifted in these areas, we still recommend that customers flush household pipes, ice makers and water fountains prior to using for drinking or cooking.
SAWS will continue to operate bulk water distribution sites until noon Monday.
Additionally, SAWS is asking all customers turn off their irrigation systems as water pressure is normalized throughout the city.
San Antonio Water System provides water and wastewater services to more than 1.8 million customers in the San Antonio region, and continues to set the standard for service and water conservation within our industry. SAWS is the national leader in water innovation with the largest direct recycled water system in the country, a state-of-the-art inland desalination plant, and the largest groundwater-based Aquifer Storage & Recovery facility in the nation, making this wonderful city…Waterful.
