- 67.4% Computed from filed system input and billed consumption.
- Recoverable annually

What the filing says
Oglesby serves 277 retail connections and about 484 people. Because it reports fewer than 3,300 connections, it is on a five-year water loss audit cycle with TWDB.
What the record shows
67.4% non-revenue water in FY2020, higher than 99% of the 1,775 Texas systems that filed that year.
Components sum to within 0.00% of reported system input, inside the 0.5% tolerance.
| Year | NRW | Input (MG) | Recoverable | Balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 67.4% | 55.2 | $39,216 | closed |
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 $39,216 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.

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.
