San Antonio City Code § 34-901
in effectSec. 34-901. - Statement of purpose.
The City of San Antonio adopts a goal of nondegradation which maintains or improves the quality of water entering the Edwards Aquifer. Pollution prevention will be assured by requiring best management practices and development criteria for point and non-point sources, including an emphasis on passive measures, supplemented by the use of structural controls, where appropriate. Land uses which could adversely affect the water supply are prohibited, thereby preventing the risk of contaminants entering the water reservoir, and posing a risk to the public health. The City of San Antonio hereby adopts this policy of nondegradation to insure the preservation of a clean and safe drinking water supply, and has found, as a matter of legislative determination, that the implementation of the regulations contained in this Division will significantly move toward accomplishing this goal.
