A Night in Old San Antonio

Join us Thursday, April 12 at 6:00 p.m. and celebrate NIOSITA at Texas Water. NIOSITA (nee-o-see-tah) is a whirlwind celebration bursting with culture, cuisine, and charisma that is patterned after the famous folk festival “A Night in Old San Antonio” (NIOSA) held during Fiesta week, San Antonio’s annual celebration of Texas’ independence from Mexico.

Situated just steps from the Palacio del Rio, La Villita’s Maverick Plaza is the location of the NIOSITA festival. Its quaint walkways, tree-lined plazas, and beautifully restored historic structures welcome visitors from around the world. Kick up your heels to “the Cotton Eyed Joe,” stroll with the mariachis, or admire the Folklorico Ballet. Grab a tasty cheese chalupa or a sizzling beef fajita. Savor a quesadilla, rock with a Maria’s tortilla, or roll with a hot tamale or two. Leave room for dessert and don’t forget about the margaritas and beer!

TW12’s NIOSITA supports the activities of the San Antonio Conservation Society, one of the country’s largest and most active preservation organizations. The purpose of the San Antonio Conservation Society is to encourage and fund the preservation of historic buildings, objects, places, and customs relating to the history of Texas, its natural beauty, and all that is admirably distinctive about our state. At the Texas Water NIOSITA, you will have an opportunity to mingle with fellow conference attendees and their families, dance to local music, and welcome the new officers of WEAT and TAWWA.

NIOSITA is included with Full Registration for attendees and the Guest Program package, but additional tickets can be purchased through the conference website.

Choose one of the three tours that leave the Convention Center Friday morning:

Option 1: SAWS ASR WTP and Medina River Ultrafiltration WTP

SAWS Aquifer Storage and Recovery WTP: This plant is a key component of SAWS’s 50-Year Water Resource Plan. The first major project funded by SAWS customers through the Water Supply Fee, SAWS opened the Twin Oaks ASR in June 2004. ASR technology is relatively new. SAWS stores excess Edwards Aquifer drinking water during rainy times. The water goes into a large-scale underground water storage facility in south Bexar County for use during our dry south Texas summers.

Medina River Ultrafiltration WTP:Little more than ten years ago when the Bexar Metropolitan Ultra-filtration Water Treatment System went on line in San Antonio, TX, it was the largest membrane ultrafiltration treatment plant in the United States at 10 MGD. Designed and built by United Water Services in a span of 16 months, it was the first contracted design/build/operation (DBO) water treatment project in Texas.

Option 2: SAWS Dos Rios WRC and Water Meter Shop

SAWS Dos Rios WRC:• 125 MGD two-stage Wastewater Treatment Facility• Methane gas generated during the treatment

process is now turned into energy. SAWS has partnered with Ameresco, Inc. — a national energy company focusing on renewable energy — to treat and transfer at least 900,000 cubic feet of gas per day to a nearby commercial pipeline to sell on the open market.

• SAWS boasts the largest direct recycled water delivery system in the nation.

SAWS Water Meter Shop:• Meter Testing Equipment: State of the art equipment

located in the shop and testing units mounted on trucks for field tests. This equipment will be available for viewing.

• Meter Testing: Demonstration of actual testing and output.

• Meter Storage: For after-reset verification and eventual scrapping.

• Discussion/presentation on refurbishing versus scrapping meters.

• Current staff has over 100 years of experience in the meter industry and will be available for Q&A on challenges other utilities are having with field

operations.

Option 3: SARA Flood Diversion Tunnel and SARA Martinez II WWTP

SARA Flood Diversion Tunnel:The San Antonio River flood diversion tunnel is approximately 16,200 feet long with precast concrete segmented liners of 24 feet, 4 inches inside diameter. The tunnel starts near Josephine Street where the tunnel inlet shaft is constructed adjacent to the existing channel. The inlet shaft is 24 feet, 4 inches in diameter dropping approximately 118 feet to the tunnel invert. The tunnel outlet shaft near Lone Star Boulevard is 35 feet in diameter and contains embedded piping for dewateringfacilities. Two 18 foot diameter maintenance shafts, three 4 foot diameter ventilation shafts and two 12 inch diameter hydraulic instrumentation shafts are provided at intervals along the tunnel length.

SARA Martinez II WWTP:Facility services a portion of 14,459 customers from Woodlake and Ventura Subdivisions in northeast Bexar County. It is currently a 2 MGD WWTP.

• In 1984 began construction of the Martinez II 1.0 MGD facility funded by the Utilities Capital Improvement Fund along with developer funding.

• In 1986 Construction of the Martinez II WWTP is completed (1.0 MGD total capacity).

• In 2001 construction of 1.0 MGD expansion underway to increase plant capacity to 2.0 MGD.

• Capital Improvement Projects for the Martinez II System have totaled approximately $6,398,000 to date.

• In late 2010, construction of 1.5 MGD expansion began to increase plant capacity to 3.5 MGD.

All Aquastore composite elevated tanks are factory

engineered with glass-fused-to-steel technology – a

durable surface that will not fade or crack and never

needs repainting. With proven performance, greater

lifetime value, and the fastest CET installation in

the industry, Texas Aquastore raises the standard in

composite elevated tank quality.
