Philadelphia Waterworks - Ninestar Connect
What Philadelphia Waterworks - Ninestar Connect filed with IFA about the water it produced and the water it billed for, 2021–2021 — and what the filing does and does not let anyone verify.
- Non-revenue water, FY2021
- 55.8% Computed from filed system input and billed consumption.
- system input volume 0.6 sheet Sheet1, cell H298 · million gallons per year, declared in the column header in all three vintages
- billed authorized consumption 0.27 sheet Sheet1, cell I298 · 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
55.8% non-revenue water in FY2021, higher than 96% of the 383 Indiana systems that filed that year.
Compliance record
1 violation on EPA's record for this system as of 2026Q2. 1 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.

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.
