Improved Urban Water System (Case Study)

Located in Bexar County, TX, San Antonio Water Systems (SAWS) partnered with Ameresco under a Power Purchase Agreement to create a biogas project that was the first sustainable project of its kind in the nation.

Customer Benefits

The improvements made to SAWS complete a “recycling trifecta,” where they recycle or reuse almost all of the waste coming into Dos Rios. Over the 20 year term, the project will provide significant improvement to the environment around the SAWS Wastewater Treatment Plant through the major reduction of flared emissions at the site.

Services Provided

Ameresco restructured SAWS to utilize all of the elements from the processing of waste-water and support a positive environmental outcome. The new system takes biogas generated during the sewage treatment process, captures it and then sells it through a commercial gas pipeline.
