Where Seguin and Schertz get their water: SSLGC and CRWA

For water customers in Seguin and Schertz: learn what the jointly owned SSLGC supplies, how CRWA’s member list differs, and which office to ask about local rules.

Seguin and Schertz receive their primary water supply from the Schertz/Seguin Local Government Corporation, a jointly owned wholesale supplier using the Carrizo Aquifer. The cities own SSLGC equally, according to Seguin’s SSLGC page. It is a separate corporation, rather than a Seguin city committee.

That distinction helps explain two different parts of water service. SSLGC develops and supplies water in bulk; the city or utility serving a customer communicates the rules that apply to that customer. The October 2026 Schertz notice shows the connection: a problem at SSLGC affected supply, while Schertz announced restrictions for its residents.

From the source record

Official water-supply guideSchertz/Seguin Local Government Corporation
The Schertz/Seguin Local Government Corporation (SSLGC) was created as a wholesale water supply system.
City of Seguin ↗
Seguin’s SSLGC page describes the corporation’s ownership, water source, customers, board and contact information.

Who supplies whom

SSLGC and Canyon Regional Water Authority, or CRWA, have different published customer lists. Seguin identifies SSLGC’s two owner cities and several wholesale customers. CRWA describes its members as water corporations, districts or municipalities that purchase water through the authority. Appearing on either list does not, by itself, identify the utility for an individual address or establish that an entity buys all its water from that supplier.

The SSLGC and CRWA lists both name Springs Hill. The lists do not establish each member’s entire water supply or an address-level service boundary.

Who governs SSLGC

Seguin says SSLGC was formed in December 1998 and is governed by a board with five directors and two ex-officio members appointed by the Schertz and Seguin city councils. The same page lists the directors, says the board meets on the third Thursday of each month at 1:30 p.m. at 108 W. Mountain Street in Seguin, and provides an agendas-and-minutes route. Those records are the place to check what the corporation plans or decides; a board listing alone does not tell a customer which watering rule applies at home.

Why the distinction matters

For Schertz residents, an SSLGC transmission line break led the city to impose Stage 3 water restrictions on October 25, 2026. Schertz said the break took one SSLGC treatment plant offline and that an alternative source was supplying less than the community’s regular needs. This notice concerns SSLGC and Schertz; it does not attribute the break or the restrictions to CRWA.

The Schertz notice gives specific restrictions, including a sprinkler-system prohibition and designated days for handheld or drip landscape watering. Customers should check that city notice for its stated rules and any newer city update for changes. A CRWA member in Cibolo, Marion or a utility district should use that member’s own customer information to determine applicable service rules; CRWA’s member page is a starting point for identifying the entity, not a household rulebook.

Where to go next

For questions about SSLGC itself, Seguin’s official page gives 830-401-2409 and the corporation’s address, 108 W. Mountain Street, Seguin. CRWA’s member page gives its number as 830-609-0543. Schertz directs questions about its October 25 restrictions to 311 or 210-619-1000. If you are unsure which rules cover your address, start with the utility that provides your water service and ask it to identify the applicable notice or policy.
