5-year Service and Financial Plan

PURPOSE STATEMENT

The State of Texas has empowered the San Antonio River Authority (SARA) to preserve, protect and manage the resources and environment of the San Antonio River and its tributaries. Our district spans Bexar, Goliad, Karnes and Wilson counties, yet our concern for the quality and quantity of water extends our focus beyond these boundaries, as factors outside the district contribute to the health and well being of the river and our communities. Through the knowledge and skill of professional and technical staff, we continue to develop and sustain the expertise needed to fulfill our service mission.

MISSION STATEMENT

SARA is entrusted to protect and preserve our shared water resources and, together with our partners, pursue innovative solutions that will serve generations to come.
