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, 2012–2019 — and what the filing does and does not let anyone verify.
- Non-revenue water, FY2019
- 43.7% Computed from filed system input and billed consumption.
- system input volume 97.4 sheet 2019 Water Audits, cell H68 · 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 54.8 sheet 2019 Water Audits, cell I68 · billed metered plus billed unmetered
- Recoverable annually
- $4,970 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 4,969 sheet 2019 Water Audits, cell Y68
- Balance check
- inapplicable EPD derives water losses from system input minus authorized consumption, so this decomposition holds by construction.

What the record shows
43.7% non-revenue water in FY2019, higher than 89% of the 232 Georgia systems that filed that year.
- The figure is roughly flat across the record.
Compliance record
22 violations on EPA's record for this system as of 2026Q2. 13 resolved, 8 archived, and 1 still open.
- Notification, Known or Potential LSL unaddressed, from July 2, 2025
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.

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.
