Otwell Water Corporation
What Otwell Water Corporation filed with IFA about the water it produced and the water it billed for, 2019–2019 — and what the filing does and does not let anyone verify.
- Non-revenue water, FY2019
- 29.2% Computed from filed system input and billed consumption.
- system input volume 102.8 sheet Sheet3, cell G287 · million gallons per year, declared in the column header in all three vintages
- billed authorized consumption 72.8 sheet Sheet3, cell H287 · billed metered plus billed unmetered
- Recoverable annually
- $31,500 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.
- cost of apparent losses, as filed 31,469 sheet Sheet3, cell Y287
- Balance check
- inapplicable IFA derives water losses from system input minus authorized consumption, so this decomposition holds by construction.

What the record shows
29.2% non-revenue water in FY2019, higher than 70% of the 455 Indiana systems that filed that year.
Compliance record
18 violations on EPA's record for this system as of 2026Q2, of which 7 are health-based. 16 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.

What is missing from this record, and why
IFA published a filing for Otwell Water Corporation that this page does not show: FY2023. Otwell Water Corporation did file, and the filing is in IFA's published results.
It is absent here because two or more identifiers in one cell — a combined filing covering several systems, filed as IN5263001 & IN5263007. Publishing it
under that identifier would attribute this utility's water balance to a different named system, and deciding which
system a contradicting filing belongs to is not a decision this pipeline is allowed to make. Read the gap as ours,
not as a utility that stopped reporting.
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 $31,500 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.

Every figure above is either filed by the utility or computed from filed figures, and each one says which. If a number here is wrong, it is either wrong in the filing or wrong in our reading of it — tell us which and we will correct the page and say what changed.
