Petersburg Water
What Petersburg Water 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.
- Non-revenue water, FY2023
- 70.5% Computed from filed system input and billed consumption.
- system input volume 139.6 sheet Sheet1, cell H339 · million gallons per year, declared in the column header in all three vintages
- billed authorized consumption 41.2 sheet Sheet1, cell I339 · billed metered plus billed unmetered
- Recoverable annually
- — Not estimable from what IFA publishes. A loss percentage cannot be priced without the volume it is a share of.
- Balance check
- inapplicable IFA derives water losses from system input minus authorized consumption, so this decomposition holds by construction.

What the record shows
70.5% non-revenue water in FY2023, higher than 99% of the 430 Indiana systems that filed that year.
- The figure moved from 54% to 71% between FY2021 and FY2023.
Compliance record
7 violations on EPA's record for this system as of 2026Q2. 6 resolved, 1 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. 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.

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.
