Suisun-solano

What Suisun-solano 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
17.3%

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

17.3% non-revenue water in FY2024, higher than 79% of the 545 California systems that filed that year.

17.3% 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 17.3%. 1 filing above 64% are drawn at the right edge.0%10%20%30%40%50%60%This system 17.3%California median 9.2%
The reported figure is not stable enough to act on. It has moved an average of 4.8 points a year, against a California median of 2.6, including 6% to 17% between FY2023 and FY2024. 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.

What it charges

No bill is published for this system. This system does not bill monthly, and a bill is per billing period — a bi-monthly fixed charge is not half a monthly one, and nothing filed says how its tiers apply to a month.

It did answer the Board's customer-charge questions for reporting year 2025; what is missing is what a comparable figure needs.

Compliance record

13 violations on EPA's record for this system as of 2026Q2, of which 12 are health-based. 11 resolved, and 2 still open.

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

Suisun - Solano Water Authority filed this audit for FY2024 and operates no other system in the export that year. California keys its export on the filing organization and not on the system, so the two coincide here rather than by definition.

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, FY2024 · 1,139 MG system input
Billed 942.6 MG Unbilled authorized 17.2 MG Apparent loss 14.2 MG Real loss 165.2 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.

Where is it going?

This page says how much — roughly $59,000 a year. 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.
