Hammond Water Works

What Hammond Water Works 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

24.1% non-revenue water in FY2023, higher than 54% of the 430 Indiana systems that filed that year.

Compliance record

18 violations on EPA's record for this system as of 2026Q2, of which 1 is health-based. 9 resolved, 9 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.

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.

Where is it going?

This page says how much — roughly $54,900 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.
