About Our Water Quality

Water Efficiency & Tips

Due to a water main leak South of the Dickinson Airport requiring emergency repairs, Southwest Water Authority is requesting that customers reduce non-essential water use until repairs are complete. Conserving water during this time helps maintain adequate system pressure and supports uninterrupted service for all customers.  This leak will leave many customers with a temporary loss of water or low pressure.  We are working to restore service as quickly as possible, but this leak repair is expected to continue into Sunday, August 23rd. Thank you for your assistance.

SWA is committed to creating an inclusive digital environment. As we strive to fully implement WCAG 2.1, if you encounter any accessibility issues or require any assistance, please alert us so we can determine a reasonable accommodation. Please see our Accessibility page for contact information.
