RELEASE DATE: February 20, 2024

DEADLINE: March 20, 2024 at 2:00pm (CST)

**ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION ONLY**

The San Antonio Water System (SAWS) is pursuing professional services for the 2025 Recycled Water Master Plan Project, hereafter referred to as Master Plan or Project.  The selected engineering firm (Consultant) will be responsible for providing services to (i) evaluate the condition and performance of a recycled water (RW) production a distribution system that includes 130 miles, and provides 122 million gallons per day (MGD) of pumping and 12.1 million gallons (MG) of storage capacity; (ii) assess the future needs of the RW system that augments stream flow and currently serves 135 customers; and (iii) prepare a strategic planning document to implement near-term and long-term needs through: 

·         Asset management strategies

·         Operational system refinements

·         Future capital improvements.

The RW system is a vital SAWS water resource that has been operational since 1998. The reclaimed water from SAWS’ Water Recycling Centers (WRC) that supplies the RW system, which covers an area of roughly 350 square miles, has allowed SAWS to offset potable water production and contribute to its strategy for diversifying its water supplies.  The Master Plan prepared by the Consultant will allow SAWS to extend and optimize the usefulness of the RW system into the future.
