Patoka Lake Regional Water District
What Patoka Lake Regional Water District filed with IFA about the water it produced and the water it billed for, 2019–2021 — and what the filing does and does not let anyone verify.
- Non-revenue water, FY2021
- 50.3% Computed from filed system input and billed consumption.
- system input volume 589.6 sheet Sheet1, cell H290 · million gallons per year, declared in the column header in all three vintages
- billed authorized consumption 293.1 sheet Sheet1, cell I290 · billed metered plus billed unmetered
- Recoverable annually
- $190,000 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 190,170 sheet Sheet1, cell AA290
- Balance check
- inapplicable IFA derives water losses from system input minus authorized consumption, so this decomposition holds by construction.

What the record shows
50.3% non-revenue water in FY2021, higher than 92% of the 383 Indiana systems that filed that year.
Compliance record
18 violations on EPA's record for this system as of 2026Q2, of which 2 are health-based. 6 resolved, 12 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 Patoka Lake Regional Water District that this page does not show: FY2023. Patoka Lake Regional Water District did file, and the filing is in IFA's published results.
It is absent here because two systems filed under this identifier in one vintage, and nothing in the file says which owns it, filed as IN5219012. 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 $190,000 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.
