BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
As a municipally owned utility, San Antonio Water System (SAWS) must follow the same procedures governed by the City's Municipal Code to declare property as surplus and convey to third parties. For every real estate transaction, City Council must approve the acquisition or sale of SAWS property.
Following the same steps for sale of City owned property, a request must be submitted to the Transportation & Capital Improvements Department (TCI) for canvassing of City departments and utility companies to determine if there is a need to retain the properties. If there is no interest or need to keep the property, it can be deemed as surplus.
With City Council approval, SAWS is authorized to dispose of the property in accordance with the applicable state statues. The San Antonio Water System Board of Trustees declared the 27 properties as surplus through Resolution 16-198, dated August 2, 2016. SAWS and City staff have worked to ensure all codes and conditions have been followed for each of the 27 properties. The properties are depicted on attached Exhibits "A" and "B."
