## Summary

Lakeside WCID 2-d reported **3.1% non-revenue water** in FY2022, higher than 2% of the 740 Texas systems that filed that year. At the utility's own reported water rates that is **$9,794 a year**, as computed in the filed audit itself. **The series is not stable enough to act on**: it moves 21.4 points a year against a Texas median of 5.8.

**The filed balance closes**, to within 0.00% of reported system input.

## Filed history

| Year | Non-revenue water % | System input (MG) | Cost of losses/yr | Balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 3.1% | 97.5 | $9,794 | closed |
| 2021 | 2.9% | 67.3 | $7,468 | closed |
| 2020 | 54.0% | 173.5 | $321,231 | closed |
| 2017 | 41.0% | 96.3 | $134,758 | closed |

`closed` means the filed components sum to the filed input. `failed` means they do not, by the stated residual.
`insufficient` means the check could not run because figures are missing — never to be read as a pass.

## How the cost figure is built

Apparent loss is water delivered and never billed, so it is valued at the retail rate: revenue, recoverable inside a
budget year without capital work. Real loss is valued at variable production cost, because eliminating a leak saves
treatment and pumping rather than retail price. Where the filed audit carries its own cost of losses — as TWDB's
export does — those figures are used directly and no rate of ours enters the calculation.

Volumes are normalized to million gallons on ingest; the export reports them in the unit each filing states.

Figures are as filed unless stated otherwise. If a number here is wrong it is wrong in the filing or wrong in
our reading of it, and both are worth knowing: ammar@municorn.us
