Here’s a water tip every San Antonio homeowner should know right now. 💧
SAWS typically calculates residential sewer charges based on how much water your household uses between mid-November and mid-March. That window—called the Winter Sewer Averaging period—opens in about six weeks. What you do before it opens can make a real difference on your bill.
Here are three things worth doing now:
✅ Fix leaks before the window opens. A running toilet or dripping faucet during the averaging period quietly adds up—and that usage gets factored into your sewer charges.
✅ Watch your outdoor water use. Heavy irrigation during those months gets averaged into your rate. Less unnecessary watering can improve your odds of a lower sewer charge.
✅ Don’t guess—test your water. Know what’s happening in your home’s water system before the averaging period begins, not after the bill arrives.
If you’ve been putting off a leak check or water audit, now is the time. Tye is here to help.
