A native of San Antonio, Mario Hernandez doesn’t just live in the Alamo City — he guards its most precious liquid asset.
While most people relax with a book or a movie, Mario finds true inner peace in the soothing embrace of red tape and municipal regulations.
As the senior conservation field investigator in Conservation, he has turned his passion for rules into a professional mission. He spends his days ensuring every drop of San Antonio’s water isn’t going to waste via broken sprinkler heads creating a river down the street.
If your irrigation isn’t up to code, don’t worry, he’ll tell you — probably with a long-winded version of the latest city ordinances.
