A higher percent water loss means that a utility is losing water that could be used or conserved to delay potential expensive water infrastructure projects in the future.

The breakpoints identified above are based on average percent water loss between 2015 and 2018 for all evaluated utilities. The previous breakpoints were as follows:

% Water Loss of less than or equal to 6.5% - 15 points
