The San Antonio Water System (SAWS) is the largest drinking water and sewage utility in Bexar County , Texas , United States. Based in the Midtown Brackenridge district of San Antonio , SAWS draws water from the Edwards Aquifer to service its customers in all 8 counties of the Greater San Antonio metropolitan area. SAWS is owned by the City of San Antonio.
SAWS was formed on May 19, 1992, as a result of a merger of three separate entities: the City Water Board, the City Wastewater Department, and the Alamo Water Conservation and Reuse District. [1] In 2012, SAWS took over (merged with) another local water utility, Bexar Metropolitan Water District (BexarMet). [2]
