San Antonio Water System crews are cleaning up a sewer spill that occurred Friday on New Valley Hi Drive near Lackland Airforce Base.
The spill was caused by a sewage line break affected by this year’s extreme dry weather. The spilled amount exceeded the requirement for public notice. (See attached TCEQ public notice for more details.) No adverse impacts are expected.
Under San Antonio’s EPA consent decree, SAWS is investing $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.
