The San Antonio Water System has opened seven water distribution locations across the city at its pump stations to provide customers with water.

Residents will need to bring their own clean containers such as jugs to fill with water. Customers will be allowed five gallons of water per person. As a precaution, the water should be boiled before drinking or used in cooking, mirroring the current boil water notice advisory for the city.

The SAWS distribution sites’ operating hours will be 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day to assist customers still experiencing a loss of water service. The sites will be open until the water system is back to normal operating conditions.

Customers are asked to adhere to all COVID precautions such as wearing a mask and maintaining at least six feet of physical distance. Customers should expect that long wait lines are possible.

To further assist customers, the City of San Antonio will also be setting up separate bottled water distribution sites throughout the city, as well as the San Antonio Food Bank. More information on that program is coming soon.

Pump Station Water Distribution Sites

This morning, the City of San Antonio, Bexar County, and San Antonio Food Bank announced they will open a total of 13 bottled water distribution sites beginning today, Saturday, February 20th. The sites will remain open for two weeks. Residents will be able to pick up one case of bottled water per day per household.

The bottled water distribution sites will open at 1 p.m. on Saturday through 5 p.m. or until supplies last. On Sunday, the hours of operation will be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The sites will remain open through March 6th.

Bottled Water Distribution Sites (1 - 5 p.m. Saturday; 8 - 5 p.m. Sunday)

The locations were selected to be within the closest proximity to areas that are still facing water outages.

Volunteers are needed to help staff the distribution sites. Volunteer shifts are available Monday, February 22nd through Friday, February 26th from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Volunteers will assist with loading cases of water into vehicles and provide instructions at the distribution sites.  The entire shift will be outdoors, and volunteers must be able to lift 20 pounds. Shift leaders are also needed to serve as on-site contact for volunteers.  

To volunteer, please register here.

The City will also provide bottled water delivery to homebound seniors, San Antonio Housing Authority properties without water, nursing homes, boarding homes, some dialysis facilities, and residents with medical needs. These locations have been identified and coordinated with partner agencies. Delivery availability is limited but can be requested by calling 311. 

The sites will abide by COVID-19 safety protocols, including wearing masks and practicing physical distancing.

During this time, the District 7 Office is continuing to work for you. Contact us by calling 210-207-0870 or emailing us at District7@SanAntonio.gov.
