Water loss against the state's 40% line

The Board of Utility Regulation opens a water loss case on any system whose non-revenue water, the water it supplied minus the water it sold, is 40% or more by volume. It calculates that from the Annual Information Report. Clarksville Gas & Water filed 7,403.1 million gallons supplied and 5,779.6 million gallons sold for its last fiscal year, filed March 16, 2026.

Non-revenue water is leaks, meter error, unbilled and unauthorised use. Water sold includes wholesale sales to neighbouring systems. A negative figure means a system filed more water sold than supplied. All figures as filed; the Comptroller does not audit them. The Board's own water loss review uses the AWWA audit worksheet, which a referred system files separately.

The bill for 5,000 gallons

The same filing asks each system what it bills a residential customer for 1,000, 3,000 and 5,000 gallons in a month. Clarksville Gas & Water's answer, filed March 16, 2026, beside the median of every Tennessee water system that answered and the eight nearest by size.

Water charges only, inside-city or standard residential rate as each system chose to report it; sewer and gas are not in these figures. A few systems that sell only wholesale file a nominal amount, which pulls the state median down a little. As filed; the Comptroller does not audit it. If Clarksville Gas & Water's figure is not what a customer pays, use the correction form and it will be fixed against your rate schedule.
