## Summary

Lawrenceville reported **10.7% non-revenue water** in FY2019, higher than 13% of the 232 Georgia systems that filed that year. The figure is trending worse across the record.

**The filing does not publish enough components to decompose system input.** Absent: apparent loss.

## Filed history

| Year | Non-revenue water % | System input (MG) | Cost of losses/yr | Balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 10.7% | 767.9 |  | insufficient |
| 2018 | 18.4% | 807.5 |  | insufficient |
| 2017 | 12.7% | 789.4 |  | insufficient |
| 2016 | 6.3% | 796.7 | $122,000 | inapplicable |
| 2015 | 12.8% | 810 | $116,000 | inapplicable |
| 2014 | 10.1% | 774.4 | $139,000 | inapplicable |
| 2013 | 15.2% | 795.3 | $136,000 | inapplicable |
| 2012 | 13.4% | 825.7 | $137,000 | inapplicable |
| 2011 | 9.5% | 806.6 | $131,000 | inapplicable |

The Balance column carries more than one verdict on this system. `inapplicable` is a statement about the
source rather than the utility: EPD derives water losses from system input minus
authorized consumption, so the identity holds on every filing where it publishes all the components.
`insufficient` means the filing does not publish enough components to decompose at all. Neither is a pass or a
failure.

## How the cost figure is built

Apparent loss is water delivered and never billed, so it is valued at the retail rate: revenue, recoverable inside a
budget year without capital work. Real loss is valued at variable production cost, because eliminating a leak saves
treatment and pumping rather than retail price. Where the filed audit carries its own cost of losses — as
EPD's export does — those figures are used directly and no rate of ours enters the
calculation.

Volumes are normalized to million gallons on ingest; the export reports them in the unit each filing states.

Figures are as filed unless stated otherwise. If a number here is wrong it is wrong in the filing or wrong in
our reading of it, and both are worth knowing: ammar@municorn.us

## Compliance record

Violations on EPA's record as of 2026Q2: **16** (10 health-based).
Resolved: 4. Archived: 12. **Still open: 0.**

Nothing on the record is open as of 2026Q2.

Counted as distinct violations rather than as rows: EPA's export carries one row per enforcement action taken
against a violation. A violation is a breach of a reporting, monitoring or contaminant-level rule as reported
to EPA; it is not a measurement of the water.
