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
- 39.8% Computed from filed system input and billed consumption.
- system input volume 118.4 sheet Sheet1, cell H67 · million gallons per year, declared in the header through 2020 and settled for 2021-2025 by EPD's own cost arithmetic and by continuity across the change
- billed authorized consumption 71.2 sheet Sheet1, cell I67 · billed metered plus billed unmetered
- Recoverable annually
- $59,500 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.
- cost of apparent losses, as filed 59,499 sheet Sheet1, cell Y67
- 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.
- 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.
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.
