Dallas

What Dallas filed with EPD about the water it produced and the water it billed for, 2012–2024 — and what the filing does and does not let anyone verify.

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

37.2% non-revenue water in FY2024, higher than 79% of the 226 Georgia systems that filed that year.

Compliance record

12 violations on EPA's record for this system as of 2026Q2, of which 3 are health-based. 4 resolved, 8 archived, 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.

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.

Where is it going?

This page says how much — roughly $64,000 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.
