Product Submittal

San Antonio Water System (SAWS) desires to incorporate high quality, cost-effective materials and products into the water production and distribution system; the wastewater collection and treatment system; and the recycled water supply system at competitive prices. This is done, when possible, through an open bidding process utilizing specifications outlined by SAWS departments and reviewed by the Product Standards Committee (PSC).

Items submitted for consideration must conform to SAWS product specification criteria and to other conformance standards.

NOTE: New submittals for manhole coatings are not being accepted at this time. SAWS has placed a hold on new coatings as we take time to re-evaluate the currently approved coatings and coatings previously approved for testing.
