Cusseta And Chattahoochee County (unified Government)

What Cusseta And Chattahoochee County (unified Government) filed with EPD about the water it produced and the water it billed for, 2015–2016 — and what the filing does and does not let anyone verify.

Non-revenue water, FY2016

Apparent loss is valued at this utility's own reported retail price of water. Real loss is NOT included — EPD 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
EPD derives water losses from system input minus authorized consumption, so this decomposition holds by construction.

What the record shows

39.8% non-revenue water in FY2016, higher than 87% of the 225 Georgia systems that filed that year.

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.

A filed value that cannot be true.
  • FY2015 reports a leakage index of 0.04, 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.

Water balance, FY2016 · 118.4 MG system input
Billed 71.2 MG Unbilled authorized 15.6 MG Apparent loss 2.12 MG Real loss 29.4 MG

EPD 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.
