San Antonio Water System also has several water distribution sites across the city that are self-service and are open 24/7 until further notice. Click here to get the list.
In a release, SAWS said customers will be allowed five gallons of water per person and will need to bring their own clean containers to hold the water.
The site will operate from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day to assist those experiencing water loss due to this week's winter storms.
Those in need of water in New Braunfels can go to any one of these water distribution locations. Residents need to bring their containers, sizes up to a five-gallon bucket, to the water station for filling. Each location will have a marked route indicating the flow of traffic. New Braunfels is currently under a boil water notice.

The San Antonio Food Bank is also assisting those in need with food and water. If you're in need of food, pre-registration is recommended for those who can use their internet. However, the organization says you will not be turned away if you do not pre-register and you can register on-site.
