This project addresses the urgent need for a reliable water supply at the San Antonio Zoo, which currently relies on untreated well water from the Edwards Aquifer. The existing well is deteriorating due to casing corrosion and lacks a backup source, posing a risk to animal care and operations. To ensure continuity, the project will install a new well and water line, and rehabilitate the current well to serve as a backup. The well’s discharge also contributes to the upper San Antonio River, adding environmental significance to the effort. Upon completion, the Zoo will assume full responsibility for operations and maintenance.
