California American Water Company - Ryan Ranch

What California American Water Company - Ryan Ranch filed with DWR about the water it produced and the water it billed for, 2017–2020 — and what the filing does and does not let anyone verify.

Non-revenue water, FY2020

Recoverable annually
$7,600
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.

Balance check
inapplicable
DWR derives water losses from system input minus authorized consumption, so this decomposition holds by construction.

What the record shows

13.3% non-revenue water in FY2020, higher than 73% of the 554 California systems that filed that year.

13.3% non-revenue water in FY2020, against 554 California filings for the same yearA strip of 554 filings on a 0 to 64% axis. The median is 9.2%. This system is 13.3%. 6 filings above 64% are drawn at the right edge.0%10%20%30%40%50%60%This system 13.3%California median 9.2%
The reported figure is not stable enough to act on. It has moved an average of 5.6 points a year, against a California median of 2.6, including 6% to 14% between FY2017 and FY2018. 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

1 violation on EPA's record for this system as of 2026Q2, of which 1 is health-based. 1 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.

Who filed this audit

California American Water Company - Monterey District filed 9 separate audits for FY2020, 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 9 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.

Water balance, FY2020 · 16.3 MG system input
Billed 14.1 MG Unbilled authorized 0.03 MG Apparent loss 0.29 MG Real loss 1.85 MG

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.
