SAWS will open bulk water distribution sites on Friday

SAINT ANTHONY – San Antonio Water System will open seven water distribution points at its pump stations on Friday to provide water to customers.

Residents will need to bring their own clean containers, such as jugs, to fill them with water, the company 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 using it in the kitchen, which reflects the current boiling water warning notice for the city, officials said.

Hours of operation will be Friday from 12 to 6 p.m. From Saturday, the opening hours will be from 8 am to 6 pm every day. The sites will be open until the water system returns to normal operating conditions.

Customers should wait for the possibility of long queues at pumping stations.

Residents are asked to comply with all COVID-19 precautions, such as wearing a mask and maintaining a physical distance of at least 6 feet.

The City of San Antonio and the San Antonio Food Bank will also install separate bottled water distribution sites throughout the city. More information on this program will be available soon.
