in effect

San Antonio City Code § 34-1141 Purpose of recycled water program.

Sec. 34-1141. - Purpose of recycled water program. The purpose of the SAWS' recycled water program is the replacement of Edwards Aquifer water usage with recycled water for non-potable uses of water thereby making the Edwards Aquifer water available for other uses. A fundamental goal of the program is the acquisition by SAWS of Edwards Aquifer water withdrawal rights from customers who are Edwards Aquifer water withdrawal rights owners. SAWS seeks to acquire such Edwards Aquifer withdrawal rights by exchange for a contractual commitment to deliver equivalent quantities of recycled water that unlike Edwards Aquifer water is not subject to reduction during drought periods. (Ord. No. 87597, § 1, 3-26-98)

San Antonio City Code § 34-1142 Contracting for purchase of recycled water.

Sec. 34-1142. - Contracting for purchase of recycled water.
