Andrea Huizar Beymer, executive vice president and chief operating officer of the San Antonio Water System (SAWS), will headline the upcoming Underground Infrastructure Conference (UIC) with a keynote address that highlights transformative innovation in the water and wastewater industry.
The presentation will be part of the renowned UIC educational program. It will be held at 11 a.m., Jan. 27, at the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center in San Antonio.
As one of the highest-ranking minority women in the U.S. water sector, Beymer oversees operations for one of the nation’s largest systems, serving 2 million customers across Bexar, Medina, and Atascosa counties. Her leadership spans more than 13,000 miles of water and wastewater infrastructure and a capital budget of $550 million.
Beymer has spearheaded transformative projects that have earned SAWS a place among the Leading Utilities of the World. These include:
- The nation’s largest direct recycled water program
- The Aquifer Storage & Recovery Project
- The Brackish Groundwater Desalination initiative
- The Vista Ridge water integration project, securing San Antonio’s water future for the next 60 years
A native of San Antonio, Beymer holds both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in civil engineering, with a specialization in water resources. She is a licensed professional engineer in Texas.
SAWS continues to lead with a commitment to sustainable growth, recalculating impact fees every five years to ensure new development funds its own infrastructure needs and protecting existing customers from subsidizing expansion.
