The San Antonio Water System (SAWS) has implemented new drought rules targeting the largest water users in response to ongoing drought conditions. On June 20, the San Antonio City Council approved changes that limit watering hours and apply violation charges to water bills. Additionally, SAWS has cut off water service to four complexes due to unpaid bills. The new rules aim to address water wastage and ensure efficient use of water resources in the city. The changes are set to go into effect on June 22.
