CPS Energy, owned by the city, supplies both electricity and natural gas. SAWS gets much of its water from the Edwards Aquifer. The Alamo and four other Spanish missions in San Antonio form a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
King William is one of the oldest historic districts in Texas, known for 1800s homes. Work on homes in San Antonio historic districts can need review by the Office of Historic Preservation. Expansive clay soils in parts of the city can shift foundations and crack pipes.
Winter Storm Uri in 2021 caused frozen and burst pipes across the city. Edwards Aquifer water is hard, so scale builds up in water heaters and fixtures.

Questions about San Antonio
Who supplies water in San Antonio?
SAWS, the San Antonio Water System, draws mostly on the Edwards Aquifer, plus other sources such as the Carrizo Aquifer and the Vista Ridge pipeline. Billing and water quality questions go to them. For leaks inside your home, a plumber is the right call.
Who do I call about a power outage or gas smell?
Electricity comes from CPS Energy and natural gas from CPS Energy. Report outages to the utility. If you smell gas, leave the building first and call from outside.
Do repairs in San Antonio need a permit?
Many do, including most electrical, plumbing, heating and roofing work. Permits are handled by the City of San Antonio Development Services Department, and the pro doing the work usually pulls them.
How do I check a contractor here?
Texas licenses plumbers through the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, which has an online license search. Texas licenses electricians through TDLR, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, and licenses can be checked online. Ask for license or registration details and look them up before work starts.
Can I use this if I rent?
Yes, but many repairs are the landlord's responsibility. Tell your landlord in writing, and check with them before scheduling work on the building.

VendorReach is a referral service, not the company that does the work. Any service company you speak with runs their own business and handles their own quotes and scheduling. Ask about price, licensing and warranty up front. The pro gives you a price before any work starts, and it's your call whether to go ahead.
