๐ป #HappyHalloween from all of us at SAWS! ๐ Enjoy this recap of this yearโs Clouse After Dark tourโฆ where every drop returns from the beyond, cleaner than before. ๐ง๐ฑ
๐๐งโโ๏ธ Every successful horror flick has a sequelโฆso why not โClouse After Dark,โ our seasonal spooky tour of our largest water recycling facility. We took brave residents beyond the pipes for a spine-tingling teeth-chattering experience to witness what happens after the ๐ฝ flush! ๐ฑ From eerie eats๐ฌ at a โPumpkin Ballโ to a haunted ๐ป bus ride โ it was a frightfully fun success any ๐น horror buff would appreciate! ๐๐ง
This #ImagineADayWithoutWater reminds us how vital reliable water is to San Antonioโs future. ๐๐ง At H2Oaks, three major water sourcesโCarrizo Aquifer wells, Aquifer Storage & Recovery, and desalination work together to keep our city flowing strong. Through innovation and smart planning, SAWS ensures our city stays water secure for generations to come.
As #ImagineADayWithoutWater quickly approaches, it reminds us that water is the heartbeat of downtown San Antonio, keeping the River Walk and our city alive and thriving. ๐ง From hotels to restaurants, life here depends on reliable water. Through smart planning and innovation in recycled water, desalination, and long-term supplies, we make sure our city stays resilient and ready for the future. ๐๐

๐๐ This #NationalHoneyBeeDay, weโre highlighting a recent call to our SAWS Emergency Operations Center about a highly unusual sight: bees buzzing around a sewer manhole. Our D&C crew verified the hive, then partnered with @SecondChanceBee to ensure a safe removal & relocation. Protecting pollinators is vital, and relocating them keeps both the bees and our community safe. ๐๐ธ@COSAsustainable
๐ The Madness BeginsโAnd So Does the Water Demand! ๐ฆ
During the last Final Four in SA (2018), the Alamodomeโs water use jumped over 21%. From flushing to fanfare, water keeps the Dome running. Letโs be water smart this weekend! ๐ง๐ #FinalFourSA
๐ฝ Halftime = High Tide for Water Use! ๐
Did you know each restroom trip uses about 2๏ธโฃ gallons of water per visit? Multiply that by 72,000 fans in attendance ๐งโโ๏ธ๐งโโ๏ธ and thatโs over 400,000 gallons used just for restroom visits alone during Final Four weekend! ๐ฆ๐คฏ #FinalFourSA
๐ Downtown Goes Big During Final Four! ๐๐
In April 2018, when SA last hosted the Final Four, downtown San Antonio saw water use surge by more than 10% ๐ โ that's 18 million extra gallons in just one month. ๐ฆ Events like this bring energy, โก excitement, ๐ฅณ & extra water use. ๐ฟ Stay conservation-minded, SA! ๐ง๐ง #FinalFourSA
๐ Game Stats Aren't the Only Numbers Rising! โฌ๏ธ๐
During Final Four weekend back in 2018, downtown San Antonio used nearly 2 million gallons of water ๐ฆโin just 3 days! ๐ Final Four 2025 is projected to eclipse that record. ๐ Letโs make history with positive water conservation efforts, too! ๐๐ง๐ #FinalFourSA
Final Four weekend is coming in HOT and downtown SA is about to be wild! ๐๐ฅ The crowds, the cheers, and nonstop action all add up to one epic weekend in the heart of the city ๐, but all that energy brings a serious surge in water use too! ๐ฆ As the city gets louder ๐ฃ, letโs get smarter! Turn off those taps ๐ฐ, report leaks ๐ ๏ธ, and help keep SA sustainable during the madness! ๐ง #FinalFourSA
Final Four weekend is almost here and things are about to get loco at the Alamodome! ๐๏ธ๐คฏ With thousands of fans and nonstop restroom runs ๐ป, thatโs a lot of water flowing. ๐ While youโre cheering on your team ๐ฃ, donโt forget to be water smart ๐ง because every drop counts, even during the madness! ๐๐ #FinalFourSA
