Consolidation candidate screening
Pairs of systems whose EPA service area boundaries come within a stated tolerance of each other, with the size and filed water loss on each side of every border.
By state
- California — 2,145 bordering pairs
- Georgia — 634 bordering pairs
- Indiana — 316 bordering pairs
- Massachusetts — 720 bordering pairs
- Texas — 7,201 bordering pairs
A proximity test at a stated tolerance and not a touch test, because the boundary layer is simplified by about a kilometre. These are screens for further work and not a recommendation that any two utilities merge.
