Texas Water Development Board: Water loss audit and leak detection workshops statewide in 2018

The Texas Water Development Board’s (TWDB) Water Loss Audit and Leak Detection Workshops are available to retail public water suppliers across Texas. The workshops provide water suppliers the opportunity to learn about:

  • how water loss audits can help them implement effective water loss control programs,
  • how to use the TWDB’s online data collection system to submit audits, and
  • how to successfully account for water use and loss.

Also included in the workshop is a hands-on session working on a water loss audit and an introduction to the TWDB’s leak detection equipment loan program.

The workshops are approved for 4 hours of continuing education credits for licensed water operators through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

Basics of Texas Water Law

Water law is one of the most contentious and frequent legal issues Texas landowners face. As the adage goes, “Whiskey is for drinkin’ and water is for fightin’.” Texas property owners need to understand the basics of Texas water law as well as their rights and legal limitations related to the use of water on their property. Texas water law divides water into two broad categories: groundwater and surface water. Different legal frameworks and regulatory structures apply to each category, making Texas water law more complex than other states that follow a single
legal approach for all waters.
