Citizens Water - Westfield|southern Madison

What Citizens Water - Westfield|southern Madison filed with IFA about the water it produced and the water it billed for, 2019–2023 — 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 — IFA 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
IFA derives water losses from system input minus authorized consumption, so this decomposition holds by construction.

What the record shows

9.1% non-revenue water in FY2023, higher than 14% of the 430 Indiana systems that filed that year.

9.1% non-revenue water in FY2023, against 430 Indiana filings for the same yearA strip of 430 filings on a 0 to 64% axis. The median is 22.7%. This system is 9.1%. 7 filings above 64% are drawn at the right edge.0%10%20%30%40%50%60%This system 9.1%Indiana median 22.7%
The reported figure is not stable enough to act on. It has moved an average of 5.4 points a year, against a Indiana median of 2.8, including 9% to 20% between FY2019 and FY2021. 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

4 violations on EPA's record for this system as of 2026Q2. 4 resolved, 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.

IFA 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.
