Abstract: The dicarboxylate dianion in the polymeric title compound, [Cd(C₁₀H₈O₃S)(H₂O)₂]_n, links diaquacadmium(II) units into a zigzag chain. Adjacent chains are linked by hydrogen bonds into a layered structure. The coordination geometry of the Cd atom is octahedral, with Cd-O_COO distances of 2.395  (3) and 2.359  (3)  Å, and a Cd-O_aqua distance of 2.193  (4)  Å. The Cd atom lies on a twofold rotation axis.
