Water
Schertz has secured water sources to sustain growth in the city for the next 50 years. The city draws its water from the Carrizo Aquifer in Gonzales County. Peak loads hover around 18.6 million gallons per day, with maximum capacity built out to around 21 million gallons per day. The Schertz Seguin Local Government Corporation manages this operation.
Sewer
The Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority has provided wastewater treatment service to the cities of the Randolph region for more than 30 years. In doing so, the Authority has been the recipient of both state and federal awards, winning the Texas Water Commission Operation Excellence Award and the Environmental Protection Agency's National Operation and Maintenance Award. Dramatic growth in the area has prompted CCMA to invest heavily in order to continue to provide needed capacity for the future wastewater treatment requirements of Schertz. The CCMA currently operates at 70 percent of capacity.
Telecommunications
Time Warner Cable and AT&T both provide significant data capabilities in the City of Schertz. Depending on your preference, either company can meet your company’s expectations for data transfer and redundancies. Due to the large military, financial, telecommunication, and healthcare industries, the San Antonio area has an expansive fiber network consisting of over 10,000 fiber sheath miles and over 700,000 fiber strand miles. Advantages of using fiber optic networks are per-unit cost savings, increased network bandwidth capacity, greater flexibility, reliability, and scalability in terms of configuring future telecommunications needs.
