The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) Board meeting on September 24, 2025, featured a presentation by Kenny from Utilize.co, a company focused on utility analytics. Kenny highlighted the importance of water conservation initiatives and discussed potential solutions to address water waste in the region.

During his three-minute address, Kenny emphasized the challenges faced by property managers in the San Antonio and Austin areas, particularly regarding unexpected high water bills. He noted that many property managers are unaware of water loss until they receive their monthly utility statements, often leading to significant financial losses. Kenny proposed leveraging existing smart meter infrastructure to better monitor water usage and detect leaks early, which could help prevent costly issues like burst pipes.

Kenny also mentioned the potential for developing predictive outage maps, which could enhance the management of water and energy resources. He expressed a desire to engage with stakeholders to gather feedback on his proposals and refine his solutions based on real-world needs.

In response to Kenny's presentation, LCRA representatives acknowledged the importance of conservation efforts and mentioned the existence of a conservation committee that could further explore these initiatives. The meeting underscored the ongoing commitment of LCRA to address water conservation and improve utility management in the region.
