North Salem Water Corporation
What North Salem Water Corporation 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
- 34.1% Computed from filed system input and billed consumption.
- system input volume 11.1 sheet Sheet1, cell H314 · million gallons per year, declared in the column header in all three vintages
- billed authorized consumption 7.34 sheet Sheet1, cell I314 · billed metered plus billed unmetered
- Annual value of the filed loss
- $2,530 Apparent loss is valued at this utility's own reported retail price of water. Real loss is NOT included — IFA publishes a variable production cost whose unit it does not declare, so no dollar figure is put on the leaked water. The real recoverable total is higher than this by an amount this filing does not let anyone state.

What the record shows
34.1% non-revenue water in FY2023, higher than 76% of the 430 Indiana systems that filed that year.
Compliance record
14 violations on EPA's record for this system as of 2026Q2, of which 6 are health-based. 12 resolved, 2 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 these volumes come from
- System input 11.1 MG sheet Sheet1, cell H314 · million gallons per year, declared in the column header in all three vintages
- Billed authorized 7.34 MG sheet Sheet1, cell I314 · billed metered plus billed unmetered
- Unbilled authorized 0.94 MG sheet Sheet1, cell K314 · unbilled metered plus unbilled unmetered
- Apparent loss 0.21 MG sheet Sheet1, cell O314
- Real loss 2.65 MG sheet Sheet1, cell P314

| Year | NRW | Input (MG) | Recoverable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 34.1% | 11.1 | $2,530 |
| 2021 | 35.7% | 11.4 | $453 |
| 2019 | 34.8% | 11.2 | $457 |
Balance closure is inapplicable on every filed year above, so the column that repeated it is not shown. IFA derives water losses from system input minus authorized consumption, so this decomposition holds by construction. This is neither a pass nor a disclosure gap.

Where is it going?
This page values the loss at roughly $2,530 a year. It cannot say which accounts, which zones, or which meters, and it cannot say how much of that value is collectable. Answering either 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.

Every figure above is either filed by the utility or computed from filed figures, and each one says which. If a number here looks wrong, tell us: the error may be in the filing, in our reading of it, or in something the export does not show. Send a correction. We will check it against the source, correct the page where it is wrong, and say what changed.
