The Water Management Plan, which is updated every five years, ensures San Antonio Water System and the community we serve are navigating a secure water future together. The plan incorporates changes in population projections, water demand patterns, regulations, climate change and water supply options, providing a clear direction for community development.
We’d like your feedback on the SAWS plan to meet San Antonio’s long-term water needs through 2075.
