SAWS continues to lead on the global water stage

San Antonio Water System is proud to be part of the Leading Utilities of the World, an exclusive global network of water and wastewater service providers.

Members represent the gold standard of utility innovation and performance and include representatives from Denmark, Norway, Scotland, The Netherlands, Budapest, Japan, Australia and Singapore.

Initially selected in 2017, SAWS’ membership was recently renewed.

To be selected, a utility must demonstrate outstanding innovation in at least three areas of water management. Known in the industry for expertise in drought response, resource development and wastewater recycling, SAWS continues to lend its experience and know-how at a time when temperatures and the need for water continue to rise.

“Now more than ever, it is important to prepare to meet the challenges of the future,” said Robert Puente, SAWS president/CEO, who accepted the honor during the Global Water Summit 2024 in London in April. SAWS is one of just a handful of U.S. utilities selected for membership.
