San Antonio Water System has embarked on a major effort to
protect the Edwards Aquifer from leakage of wastewater. The
goal of the project is to identify and repair any defects
in the piping or structures of the SAWS wastewater system located
within the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone.
Texas law requires testing of the system over the recharge zone every five years.
Testing must be performed on every line that is at least 6 inches
in diameter to find out whether there are any defects. (Title
30 Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 213 - Edwards Aquifer
Rule.)
The current project includes over 56 miles of sewer mains
and 1,000 manholes.
The project is being managed by RJN
Group, Inc., a national leader in municipal infrastructure
infiltration/inflow reduction programs and associated rehabilitation
of sanitary sewers.

schedules, please visit the project Web site at www.rjn-earz.com.
