SAWS will open bulk water distribution sites on Friday

by

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio Water System opens seven water distribution locations at its pumping stations on Friday to provide water to customers.

Residents will need to bring their own clean containers, such as jugs, to fill with water, the utility said in a press release.

Customers will be allowed five gallons of water per person. As a precaution, water should be boiled before drinking or used in cooking, reflecting the current boiling water notice for the city, officials said.

The working hours will be on Friday between 12-18. Starting Saturday, the operating hours will be from 8:00 to 18:00 every day. The sites will be open until the water system returns to normal operating conditions.

Customers should expect the possibility of long queues at pumping stations.
