SAWS Responds to Sewer Spill over the Weekend

San Antonio Water System crews are cleaning up a sewer spill that occurred Sunday evening near McAllister Park. The spill, which was caused by a collapsed eight-inch sewer pipe was contained and repaired within hours of discovery. However, it exceeded the requirement for public notice. (See attached TCEQ notice for more details.) No adverse impacts are expected.

Under San Antonio’s EPA consent decree, SAWS has invested over $1.2 billion in improvements to the city’s sewage infrastructure over the course of 12 years. For an interactive map and details on sewer project construction, visit www.saws.org/sewer.
