California - American Water Company - Monterey District - Hidden Hills
What California - American Water Company - Monterey District - Hidden Hills filed with DWR about the water it produced and the water it billed for, 2017–2024 — and what the filing does and does not let anyone verify.
- Non-revenue water, FY2024
- 15.0% Computed from filed system input and billed consumption.
- system input volume 33.7 sheet Sheet1, cell AN1945 · converted to million gallons from acre-feet
- billed authorized consumption 28.6 sheet Sheet1, cell AQ1945 · billed metered plus billed unmetered, converted to million gallons from acre-feet
- Recoverable annually
- $12,800 Apparent loss is valued at this utility's own reported retail price of water. Real loss is NOT included — DWR publishes a variable production cost whose unit it does not declare, so no dollar figure is put on the leaked water. The real recoverable total is higher than this by an amount this filing does not let anyone state.
- cost of apparent losses, as filed 12,837 sheet Sheet1, cell DH1945
- Balance check
- inapplicable DWR derives water losses from system input minus authorized consumption, so this decomposition holds by construction.

What the record shows
15.0% non-revenue water in FY2024, higher than 73% of the 545 California systems that filed that year.
- The figure is roughly flat across the record.
What it charges
No bill is published for this system. Our computation from this system's filed rate structure and the Board's own undocumented charge field for the same volume disagree, and the field carries no definition to settle which is right.
It did answer the Board's customer-charge questions for reporting year 2025; what is missing is what a comparable figure needs.
Source: California State Water Resources Control Board, electronic Annual Report 2025, section 8a, filed under Health and Safety Code section 116530. How every California bill on this site compares.
Compliance record
EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System carries no violation for this system in the 2026Q2 download.
That is a statement about the record. SDWIS is a state-to-EPA reporting pipeline and its completeness varies by primacy agency and by quarter, so an empty record is not the same as a system that has never been in violation.
Who filed this audit
California American Water Company - Monterey District filed 7 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. California American Water Company - Monterey District made one set of decisions and filed it 7 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.
