San Antonio Water System is responding to a sewer spill caused by grease and debris on the 1000 block of E. Olmos Drive. While the infrastructure at the site is not owned or maintained by SAWS, SAWS crews have responded to assist with its cleanup.
The volume of the spill has exceeded the requirement for public notice at this location.
No adverse effects are expected. See TCEQ notice for more details.

An EPA consent decree agreement requires San Antonio to upgrade its sewer pipes and assets to prevent sewer spills. Under the consent decree, SAWS will invest an estimated $855 million more than what the utility would have spent in the course of 10 to 12 years to reduce sewer spills and maintain its sewer system infrastructure.
Help us improve the sewer system performance by disposing of wipes and grease/fats in the trash, and by immediately reporting sewer spills or missing manhole covers at 210-704-SAWS (7297).
