San Antonio commission ratifies emergency water repair and approves motor replacement and PFAS testing
Summary
The San Antonio City Commission ratified an emergency water repair and unanimously approved $15,722 for a Well 3 motor replacement and $4,000 for twice‑yearly PFAS sampling after noting a new EPA inspection requirement.
The San Antonio City Commission on March 17 ratified an emergency water repair and approved two waterworks expenditures during its regular meeting.
Commissioner Sasha Madden reported an emergency water leak at the U.S. Post Office that exceeded her spending limit. Mayor John Vogel II moved to ratify the expenditure; Commissioner Blaze Drinkwine seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The commission did not specify the dollar amount of the emergency repair in the minutes.
Madden said Well 3 requires a replacement motor. She moved to approve $15,722 to replace the motor; Commissioner Caitlin Bolender seconded the motion and the commission approved it unanimously.
Madden also told the commission that a new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requirement calls for chemical inspections twice a year. She moved to approve $4,000 for PFAS sampling to meet that requirement; Commissioner Randy Huckabee seconded and the commission approved the $4,000 unanimously.
The approvals followed the commission’s broader consent vote that accepted the February meeting minutes and general and water fund disbursements. The consent agenda was moved by Commissioner Blaze Drinkwine, seconded by Commissioner Randy Huckabee, and passed unanimously.
The meeting minutes do not list itemized vendors, contractors, or the exact amount for the emergency repair. No public comment specific to these waterworks items was recorded. The commission’s next regular meeting in May was rescheduled to May 5, 2026, under a separate resolution adopted later in the meeting.
