Texas HB29 mandates water audit validations and mitigation plans for municipally owned utilities with over 150,000 service connections.
Texas HB29 amends the Water Code to require municipally owned utilities with over 150,000 service connections to validate their water audits and develop water loss mitigation plans. Utilities must validate their audits within 180 days of filing, ensuring accuracy and investigating billing data. If real water loss meets or exceeds a specified threshold for three consecutive years, utilities must conduct a more detailed validation and update their mitigation plans. These plans must include goals, descriptions of projects, and cost estimates.
