A year-and-a-half after faucets around Bexar County ran dry during the 2021 February freeze, SAWS has a $202 million plan to keep the water flowing should it happen again, and the utility is teaming up with CPS Energy for part of it.
CPS Energy and SAWS approve a plan aimed at preventing another utilities disaster like the one that happened in the February freeze of 2021.– A year-and-a-half after faucets around Bexar County ran dry during the 2021 February Freeze, the San Antonio Water System has a $202 million plan to keep the water flowing should it happen again.
The rest of SAWS’ $202 million plan calls for diesel-powered backup generators at another 21 sites, which it would operate. The utility wants to get all 36 sites finished within seven years. Clouse said SAWS’ plan has been submitted to the state but not yet approved. He’s more than confident it will be, though, telling reporters, “If they don’t approve our plan, there is no plan that will be approved in the state.”
“What we learned in Uri are there are outside influences outside of CPS or SAWS’ control that do produce that risk. Once we realized we had that risk, we knew we needed to move forward with it,” Clouse said.
