SAWS Crews Clean Up Medical Center Sewer Spill

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio Water System crews are cleaning up a sewer spill that occurred Friday afternoon in the Medical Center area.

The spill was caused by a blockage in a 15” sewer pipe. The incident occurred on the 2500 block of Babcock Road at Zarzamora Creek, exceeding the requirement for public notice. (See attached TCEQ notice for more details.) No adverse impacts are expected.

Grease, wipes, and debris are a major cause of sewer spills in San Antonio as well as across the country. SAWS’ Pipes Don’t Lie campaign reminds customers that what they put down the drain or toilet clogs up lines. Find more information on Pipes Don’t Lie campaign at www.saws.org/Pipes.
