Brackenridge Well to Supply City Water Under New Contract
The 14,000,000 gallon Brackenridge artesian well is set to supply San Antonio’s high service system under a new contract, with a 24 inch main planned on New Braunfels Avenue and a possibility the plant will be located in Brackenridge Park. The council carrier notes concern over withheld details to aid private rights of way and potential routes to the city limits. The well's output far exceeds typical city use, suggesting the project could back up the Market Street plant as needed amid a history of steady flow despite artesian head declines.
