The Water Delivery system conveys ground water to customers through elevated and ground storage tanks, pumps stations and transmission and distribution mains. The system consists of approximately 4,810 miles of transmission and distribution mains, 19 primary and 31 secondary pump stations, 27 booster stations and 65 elevated and ground storage tanks.

The Water Delivery CIP includes programs and projects designed to expand and improve water production, storage and transmission facilities in the SAWS service area.

The 2010 CIP Water Delivery program includes the design and construction of projects to address critical low-pressure and low-flow areas that need to be addressed to assure continued sufficient flows for fire protection. The 2010 CIP funds projects proposed in the Water Master Plan to ensure that sufficient potable water service is available to meet growth within the SAWS service area. The selection of projects helps maintain the implementation schedule for water production, distribution, and storage facility improvements recommended in the Water Infrastructure Master Plan. Upgrades, replacements and rehabilitations of production facilities to maintain system integrity and meet Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requirements are also included. A major focus continues to be repairing and adjusting water mains in coordination with the City of San Antonio's bond program. The repair and replacement portion also addresses water infrastructure and utilies grant funding opportunities to upgrade water lines on Brooks City Base and the Port of San Antonio.

The focus of the 2010 Production Capital Improvement Program is to address regulatory and code issues within the water production systems. The program is broken out into two major components; 1) water production growth, and 2) water production repair and replacement. The growth portion funds one water storage tank deemed necessary to support the projected growth including the design of the Cross Mountain tank and construction of two distribution mains in Pressure Zone 11.
