South Atlantic Utilities-bryan County

What South Atlantic Utilities-bryan County filed with EPD about the water it produced and the water it billed for, 2018–2025 — and what the filing does and does not let anyone verify.

Non-revenue water, FY2025

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

1.3% non-revenue water in FY2025, higher than 0% of the 228 Georgia systems that filed that year.

1.3% non-revenue water in FY2025, against 228 Georgia filings for the same yearA strip of 228 filings on a 0 to 64% axis. The median is 26.4%. This system is 1.3%. 4 filings above 64% are drawn at the right edge.0%10%20%30%40%50%60%This system 1.3%Georgia median 26.4%
The reported figure is not stable enough to act on. It has moved an average of 9.3 points a year, against a Georgia median of 4.9, including 22% to 2% between FY2022 and FY2023. A distribution system's real losses do not change that fast — pipe does not deteriorate or repair itself in a single year. A series that moves like this is describing how the water is being measured and recorded, not how much of it is being lost, and which year is closer to true cannot be settled from this filing.

Compliance record

10 violations on EPA's record for this system as of 2026Q2. 8 resolved, 2 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.

Source: US EPA, Safe Drinking Water Information System, via the ECHO national download, 2026Q2. How we hold it.

A filed value that cannot be true.
  • FY2025 reports a leakage index of 0.00007399958231666595, 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.

Where is it going?

This page says how much — roughly $8 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.
