POLL: Should SAWS ease stage 3 water restrictions as Edwards Aquifer reaches 4-year high?

SAN ANTONIO – The Edwards Aquifer has risen to 651.7 feet, its highest level in four years, after heavy rains across Central Texas.

So far this year, the region has received 24.71 inches of rain, about 6 inches above normal, helping the aquifer recover nearly 28 feet from its 2026 low.

Despite the rebound, Stage 3 watering restrictions remain in effect as SAWS continues monitoring the aquifer’s 10-day average before making any changes.
