SAN ANTONIO – A CPS Energy senior director sought to keep information about pump station power outages confidential last month as the city’s water situation worsened, according to emails obtained by the KSAT 12 Defenders.
Clayton Kruse, the utility’s senior director of military and managed accounts, provided an update to a San Antonio Water System vice president Feb. 17 about which pump sites currently had power.
“Attached is a status of power to your pump stations. Confidential please,” wrote Kruse in the email sent at 1:58 p.m.
San Antonio Water System officials are explaining why they didn't act on a consultant's recommendation in 2015 to buy generators for water pumping stations.
