The City of San Antonio has announced that the deadline to apply for a seat on the San Antonio Water System (SAWS) Board of Trustees is fast approaching. Residents from the Northeast, Northwest, and Southwest Quadrants interested in contributing to the city's water management have until 11:59 p.m. tomorrow to submit their applications, per a City of San Antonio statement.
For residents eager to dive into water system management details and tackle crucial decisions regarding rates and services, becoming a trustee could be the perfect outlet; however, applicants must reside in the relevant quadrant to qualify—a mandate the city's website can help clarify, just visit the SAWS section for more information about the boundaries, and since the board's realm of responsibilities cover the entire scope of SAWS' revenues, control, and operations it offers a unique opportunity for civic engagement, control, and decision making that directly impact the city's water management.
The City of San Antonio accepts applications year-round for various boards and commissions, such as the Airport Advisory Commission and the VIA Metropolitan Transit Authority Board—part of its ongoing open-door policy toward community involvement. Those interested in the current SAWS Board position can apply at SA.gov/Clerk before the deadline passes. Questions may be sent to [email protected] or directed to the Office of the City Clerk at 210-207-7253 (option 3).
