SAN ANTONIO -- San Antonio Water System launched Uplift this weekend to help customers save on their water bill. 

"Uplift" is a new version of what used to be known as the SAWS affordability program.

SAWS President Robert Puente and Councilwoman Shirley Gonzales unveiled the program Saturday morning at a Customer Assistance Fair in District Five. The program simplifies the application process for payment assistance.

After customers fill out an application, SAWS will notify them of their benefits. For more information, visit the SAWS website.
