Individuals there can again drink and cook with water from their tap without boiling. SAWS made phone notifications and social media announcements in the area, and distributed bottled water to affected customers.”The initial water main break happened just after 5 p.m. Friday, northwest of San Antonio, near Government Canyon State Park and Highway 16, at Bandera Road Ranch Parkway between Loch Wind and Mountain Climb.According to SAWS, a non-SAWS contractor was doing work in the area with a power tool and broke a 20-inch water main.Witnesses told KSAT that water could be seen shooting up to 100 feet in the air on Friday.A total of 600 accounts or addresses were impacted by the break and water pressure was lost, officials said.Below is a map of the area where residents are currently affected by the water main break.We’ll bring more updates as they become available.Copyright 2020 by KSAT - All rights reserved.About the Authors:
