Amador Water Agency - Pg&e

What Amador Water Agency - Pg&e filed with DWR about the water it produced and the water it billed for, 2016–2024 — and what the filing does and does not let anyone verify.

Non-revenue water, FY2024
0.7%
Computed from filed system input and billed consumption.

Recoverable annually
Not estimable from what DWR publishes. A loss percentage cannot be priced without the volume it is a share of.
Balance check
inapplicable
DWR derives water losses from system input minus authorized consumption, so this decomposition holds by construction.

What the record shows

0.7% non-revenue water in FY2024, higher than 0% of the 545 California systems that filed that year.

0.7% non-revenue water in FY2024, against 545 California filings for the same yearA strip of 545 filings on a 0 to 64% axis. The median is 9.2%. This system is 0.7%. 1 filing above 64% are drawn at the right edge.0%10%20%30%40%50%60%This system 0.7%California median 9.2%
The reported figure is not stable enough to act on. It has moved an average of 12.4 points a year, against a California median of 2.6, including 100% to 1% between FY2022 and FY2023. A distribution system's real losses do not change that fast — pipe does not deteriorate or repair itself in a single year. A series that moves like this is describing how the water is being measured and recorded, not how much of it is being lost, and which year is closer to true cannot be settled from this filing.

Compliance record

2 violations on EPA's record for this system as of 2026Q2, of which 1 is health-based. 2 resolved, and 0 still open.

Nothing on the record is open as of 2026Q2.

Counted as distinct violations, not as rows: EPA's export carries one row per enforcement action taken against a violation, so a row count would multiply this system's record several times over. A violation here is a breach of a reporting, monitoring or contaminant-level rule as reported to EPA — it is not a measurement of the water, and this site has none.

Source: US EPA, Safe Drinking Water Information System, via the ECHO national download, 2026Q2. How we hold it.

2 filed values that cannot be true.
  • FY2024 reports a leakage index of 8.91532411360258e-16, which would mean less real loss than the unavoidable minimum the same audit computes for this network.
  • FY2023 reports a leakage index of 0.00883832872971302, which would mean less real loss than the unavoidable minimum the same audit computes for this network.

Each is reproduced exactly as filed and excluded from every figure computed on this page. A number that contradicts its own audit is a finding about the filing, not a gap in ours.

Who filed this audit

Amador Water Agency filed 6 separate audits for FY2024, one for each public water system it operates, and this page is one of them. California keys its water loss export on the filing organization and not on the system, so a count of California audits is not a count of independent utilities. Amador Water Agency made one set of decisions and filed it 6 times. Read any statewide figure with that in mind, including the ones on this site.

Every figure on this page is read from DWR's published export as this site holds it: a 184-column extract of DWR's 190-column file. Six columns naming individuals, including the contact and the third-party validator, are removed before the bytes are committed, so the click path behind each figure lands on the extract and not on DWR's original. The column letters differ from DWR's for that reason.

DWR derives water losses from system input minus authorized consumption, so these parts sum to the whole on every filing. What a filing can get wrong is which of these numbers were measured.

Where is it going?

This page says how much. It cannot say which accounts, which zones, or which meters. That takes your billing history, your meter reads, and your production data reconciled against each other.

Our Water Loss Recovery Snapshot is three weeks, one flat fee, and the deliverable is a ranked list of specific accounts and zones with dollars and a confidence on each.
