The $137 citations for drought rule-breakers only apply to customers in San Antonio or within five miles of its city limits. SAWS customers who live in other suburban cities, however, can’t get hit with the municipal citation. As that restriction would affect everyone, including the customers who are already conserving water, Guz said the utility wants to try a different approach.
SAWS is proposing heavy water users be charged extra during drought restrictions before the utility restricts every customer watering only twice-a-month. However, Guz said people have asked about watering even earlier in the day, and the utility wants to save power during the evening peak hours for energy use.
While Guz said drip irrigation is more efficient than spray irrigation because it has less evaporation, it generally applies water “as fast as spray irrigation.”
