McCord Development announced the launch of a new artificial-intelligence-powered water intelligence platform designed to help users detect leaks sooner, reduce the loss of treated water, and gain real-time insight into system performance, according to a May 5 news release.

The details: The new platform, dubbed MizuWatch, was built and trained at McCord’s master-planned community, Generation Park. Per the release, the platform is now available to operators, districts, and municipalities seeking a more proactive, data-driven approach to water management.

MizuWatch Chief Product Officer Jerzy Wielgus said the program gives users data and feedback in real time, allowing them to react more quickly to potential problems.

“Our stakeholders don’t have a data problem—they have a timing problem,” Wielgus said in the news release. “When information is reviewed weeks after the fact, the opportunity to act has often passed.”

A closer look: Ryan McCord, CEO of McCord Development and founder and CEO of MizuWatch, said the program was launched at Generation Park to give officials a better understanding of the community’s water system performance.

For the first time in over a decade, there is no incumbent in the Texas attorney general's race as Republican Ken Paxton runs for U.S. Senate. Candidates on both sides of the aisle will compete in runoff elections May 26 after no candidate received more than 50% of the vote in the March 3 primaries.

State Sen. Nathan Johnson, D-Dallas, and former Galveston Mayor Joe Jaworski are vying for the Democratic nomination.

The overview: In a three-way primary race, Johnson secured 48% of the vote while Jaworski received 26% of the vote. The winner of the May 26 overtime round will face the Republican nominee and potential third-party candidates in November.

The context: The attorney general serves as Texas' top lawyer, defending the state in court, filing consumer protection lawsuits and issuing opinions interpreting state law. The agency also enforces Texas' child support laws, investigates human trafficking cases and manages access to public records.

At the polls: Texans can vote early from May 18-22 and runoff election day is May 26.
