An American Water Landmark

— Significant in the History of Public Water Supply —

San Antonio's original water system, started in 1718, consisted of eight acequias or canals taking water from the San Antonio River and San Pedro Crek. These acequias extended 15 miles from the headwaters of the San Antonio River to the five Spanish missions including the Alamo. Segments of the original system are still operational.
