SAWS Community Pipe Repair Fund to help San Antonio residents with plumbing damage after winter storm

By On Mar 21, 2021

SAN ANTONIO – A newly created fund will help San Antonio residents who have suffered damage to their sanitary facilities due to last week’s winter weather.

The SAWS Community Pipe Repair Fund finances the repair of emergency water pipes in the homes of SAWS private customers. The fund is provided by the San Antonio Area Foundation and the repair program is administered by the San Antonio Water System until all funds are used.

“I am pleased to announce that we have launched the fund with generous contributions from Spurs Give and Wells Fargo,” said Mayor Ron Nirenberg. “The Spurs contributed $ 250,000 to the fund and Wells Fargo has agreed to contribute $ 25,000, which will allow us to add $ 275,000 to the CPR fund.”

Applicants are required to meet certain eligibility requirements and priority is given to residents who need emergency pipe repair due to risks that could affect the life, health or safety of the residents of the home. Click here to apply.
