Local rules
In Texas, water heater work is plumbing work done by plumbers licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. Replacing a water heater usually needs a permit from the City of San Antonio Development Services Department, since venting, gas lines and relief valves all have to meet code.
The local picture in San Antonio
SAWS gets much of its water from the Edwards Aquifer. King William is one of the oldest historic districts in Texas, known for 1800s homes.
Winter Storm Uri in 2021 caused frozen and burst pipes across the city. Water heaters here often sit in a garage, closet or even an attic, where a leak can do real damage. A drain pan and a shutoff within reach help.
Many water heaters here sit in garages or attics, so check the drain pan and venting when you have it serviced. The Alamo and four other Spanish missions in San Antonio form a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Get ready for the call

Questions from San Antonio residents
Can I relight my own pilot?
Many older gas heaters have relighting instructions on the label. If it will not stay lit, or you smell gas, stop and call for help.
What should I do if my tank is leaking?
Turn off the cold water supply to the tank and shut off the gas or the breaker. Then call for help, since a leaking tank usually needs to be replaced.
Why is my hot water rusty?
It can be a corroding tank or anode rod. If cold water is clear and only hot is rusty, the heater is the likely source.
