SAWS lost over 14 billion gallons of water in 2021: how to fix it
Billions of gallons of water have been lost as the pipelines that crisscross San Antonio crack and snap amid a drought that continues to plague the area.continues to cause the ground to shift and shrink, destabilizing the city’s piping and causing structural tension.
Still, these issues do not go unrecognized by state water experts, agencies and municipalities. During a recent Natural Resources Committee public hearing with the Texas House, water loss was a major topic of discussion. Water officials from all over the state attended, and questions over structural repair and replacement, improvements to water supply and sustainable funding sources were front and center.
For the board, the future of water loss in Texas comes down to the quality of the data. If a water agency doesn’t have the correct data to identify what kind of water loss the utility is having or where that utility has the loss, it can be harder to target mitigation efforts. One way is validating the numbers that are submitted by water agencies, Hermitte said. So far, the agency has validated only 10 water companies, including SAWS.
