Show Notes
Tucson Water faces challenges with excessive water loss, surpassing state limits for two consecutive years. The utility, which supplies nearly 2,600 homes, grapples with unaccounted water due to leaks, breaks, faulty meters, and potential theft. With the Colorado Rivers flows dwindling, precision in water management is crucial. Tucson Waters director acknowledges the issue but hasnt pinpointed the cause, potentially facing daily fines. In contrast, Phoenix and other local utilities like Marana maintain lower water loss rates, indicating room for improvement in aging infrastructure. Utilities are adopting AI to target leaks and strive for sub-ten percent losses, ensuring reliable water supplies and manageable bills.
