The American Rescue Plan Act, or ARPA, earmarked $1.9 trillion in federal COVID-19 relief, including $326.9 million for San Antonio.

Signed into federal law in March 2021, the act aims to help families, small businesses and local governments recover from financial setbacks caused by the pandemic.

In November, San Antonio City Council voted to set aside a portion of local ARPA funds for utility bill relief, making up to $10 million available to SAWS customers who qualify.
