SAWS Water, Edwards Limestone
Why Plumbers in North San Antonio Chase Scale
Plumbers in North San Antonio mostly fight hard water. Homes here are on SAWS city water, about half of it pumped from the Edwards Aquifer, the limestone reservoir under the city, and the water that reaches the north side tests very hard. That mineral load narrows faucet flow like the stream in this picture, cakes the inside of a water heater and wears out valves early. Bergheim Plumbing comes down Blanco Road from Spring Branch to fix it.
The rest of the plumbing is city plumbing too. SAWS runs the sewer, and in Timberwood Park it holds the only certificate to do so. When the Villas at Timberwood fought a septic problem for a decade, the fix in 2024 was a county-paid hookup to SAWS sewer. So when a drain backs up in Stone Oak or Timberwood Park, we look at the line from the house to the main, not at a septic field.

Along 281 and 1604
North San Antonio, Stone Oak to Shavano Park
Stone Oak was Bexar County's first master-planned community, laid out in 1985 by Dan Parman on ranchland west of U.S. 281 and north of Loop 1604. Timberwood Park grew up west of 281 and east of Blanco Road. Hollywood Park sits where 1604 meets 281, and Shavano Park began as a rail station in the 1880s.
Every neighborhood on this list gets the same truck and the same rules: no charge to come out and a price before any work. The miles here run from Parman Library at Stone Oak. Tell us your street when you call, and we will give you an honest arrival time instead of a window that eats your afternoon.

Checked Against the Record
North San Antonio Water on the Record
Three facts from the public record, each with its source. They are about the water and the ground, because that is where a plumber's work starts on this side of town.
Very Hard at the Tap
SAWS water reaching North San Antonio typically tests 15 to 20 grains per gallon of hardness, in the very hard range, because it comes off the Edwards and Trinity Aquifers. Source: San Antonio Water System
More Than One Well
San Antonio's water utility once depended entirely on the Edwards Aquifer and now draws from seven different sources across thirteen supply projects, which is why North San Antonio's water is not a single-well story. Source: San Antonio Water System

Straight Answers
North San Antonio, Your Questions Answered
How Hard Is the Water in North San Antonio?
Very hard. SAWS water reaching the north side typically tests 15 to 20 grains per gallon, from the Edwards and Trinity aquifers. That is enough to scale a water heater and clog aerators, which is why a water softener pays off on this side of town.
Is My Stone Oak House on SAWS Sewer or Septic?
Most likely SAWS sewer. In Timberwood Park, SAWS holds the only sewer certificate. If you are not sure, tell us the street, and we will check the line when we come out.
Do You Cover Hollywood Park and Shavano Park?
Yes. Both are small incorporated towns just off Loop 1604, a little over six miles from Parman Library at Stone Oak, and both are on our route.
Do You Work in Timberwood Park?
Yes. Timberwood Park is the North San Antonio subdivision west of U.S. 281 and east of Blanco Road, and Blanco Road is the way we drive in. From the shop it is about 17 minutes.
How Long Does It Take You to Reach Stone Oak?
About 27 minutes from the shop to Parman Library. We give you an honest time when you call, and if water is running, we tell you where to shut it off first.
Is There a Charge to Come Out to North San Antonio?
No. Coming out is free. We find the problem, show it to you and give you a price, and you pay only for work you approve.
