The Last Pipe Is Put in Place

All 142 miles of the Vista Ridge Pipeline is complete and in the ground — and on track to start delivering up to 20 percent of our city’s water needs in 2020. The final segment of 60-inch steel pipe was installed Sept. 25 in Guadalupe County between New Braunfels and Seguin. The Vista Ridge Pipeline will deliver more than 16 billion gallons of water per year from the Carrizo and Simsboro aquifers in Burleson County. With the addition of Vista Ridge, San Antonio will have 16 water projects from nine different water sources.
