The San Antonio Municipal Utilities meeting held on May 27, 2025, focused on the ongoing efforts to manage and reduce water loss within the city's extensive water distribution system. The meeting highlighted the asset management process aimed at identifying the condition of water mains and targeting areas with significant leaks.

During the discussions, officials reported a 10% reduction in water loss over the past year, indicating progress in addressing the issue. However, they acknowledged that there remains a substantial number of leaks, many of which are still unidentified and located underground. The team emphasized the importance of identifying these leaks as a primary goal, noting that a significant portion of the budget is allocated to main replacements and leak detection efforts.

To enhance their capabilities, the leak detection program has been more than doubled in size, shifting from a reactive to a proactive approach. This change allows for quicker responses to known leaks and aims to reduce the backlog of unresolved issues. The team also mentioned the integration of new technology and tools to assist in leak detection, further improving their efficiency in managing the water system.

Overall, the meeting underscored the commitment of San Antonio Municipal Utilities to tackle water loss through enhanced detection methods and proactive management strategies, with ongoing efforts to ensure the integrity of the city's water infrastructure.
