The reported figure moves more than three quarters of the state's do — describing measurement rather than water. Filter to these.

See these systems on a map — each service area shaded by the loss figure it filed.

Which of these systems border each other — and what the filed figures say across each border.

Sort by any column. The cohorts above are filters, not separate lists. This table carries every system in a cohort, plus the 100 with the largest annual cost — 171 of 508. The rest are listed under every system, and every system's own page carries its full filed history.

Every system

Names and links only. Each system's own page carries the archived cell every figure was read from, its retrieval date and its citation line; the county pages carry the same figures a few dozen at a time. A figure quoted from an index without that page is a figure without its basis.

Source: Indiana Finance Authority, as filed by each utility. States differ in what they publish, so these pages differ in what they can show: IFA publishes component volumes and each utility's own water rates, so every figure here carries a dollar amount. It does not flag which components it supplied a default for, so no measured share is derivable. Report a correction.

What the state requires, and of whom: The Indiana water loss audit: who files, and when.
