SAN ANTONIO — SAWS customers could soon be paying more for water.

The San Antonio Water System board unanimously approved a proposed rate increase for water bills over the next three years on Tuesday morning.

This includes increases for water supply, delivery, wastewater and certain special service fees to support the 2026 operating budget.

For the average customer, it would mean an increase of about $15-$20.

The city council still has to give the final approval. They are set to decide on it as soon as next month for the new rates to take effect by July 1.
