What the filing says

Hewitt serves 6,202 retail connections and about 17,272 people. Because it reports more than 3,300 connections, it is on an annual water loss audit cycle with TWDB.

What the record shows

7.8% non-revenue water in FY2022, higher than 16% of the 740 Texas systems that filed that year.

The reported figure is stable, moving 0.73 points a year against a Texas median of 5.81, so the level is more likely to reflect the system than the paperwork.

Water balance, FY2022 · 634 MG system input
Billed 584.4 MG Unbilled authorized 7.47 MG Apparent loss 14.8 MG Real loss 27.3 MG

Components sum to within 0.00% of reported system input, inside the 0.5% tolerance.

How to read the recoverable figure

Apparent loss is water that reached a customer and was never billed — under-registering meters, data-handling errors, unauthorized use. It is valued at the retail rate, because recovering it is revenue, and it is recoverable inside a budget year without capital work. Real loss is valued at variable production cost only: eliminating a leak saves what it cost to treat and pump the water, not what it would have sold for. Adding those two at the same rate is how a loss study produces a number nobody in a finance department believes.

As computed in the filed audit itself: apparent loss valued at this utility's own reported retail price of water, real loss at its own reported variable production cost. Not our estimate.

Where is it going?

This page says how much — roughly $210,107 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.
