Arcadia Electric And Water

What Arcadia Electric And Water filed with PSC about the water it produced and the water it billed for, 2016–2025 — and what the filing does and does not let anyone verify.

Non-revenue water, FY2025

(system input − billed authorized) ÷ system input × 100

  • system input volume 394.7 sheet Sheet1, cell H19 · thousands of gallons, declared in the column header, divided by 1,000 · net of water sold to wholesale customers, which is the volume entering this utility's own distribution system

Recoverable annually
Not estimable from what PSC publishes. A loss percentage cannot be priced without the volume it is a share of.
Balance check
inapplicable
PSC derives water losses from system input minus authorized consumption, so this decomposition holds by construction.

What the record shows

4.4% non-revenue water in FY2025, higher than 8% of the 562 Wisconsin systems that filed that year.

Debt outstanding, and what covers the interest

$7.8M of long-term debt outstanding at the end of 2025, across 5 bond issues. This is principal outstanding on a combined water and electric utility's balance sheet, which the Commission files as one.

This utility's balance sheet and income statement are water and electric, filed as one. A coverage ratio computed from them would put one service's revenue over another service's interest.

Figures are as filed with the Commission under Wis. Admin. Code ch. PSC 185 and are not audited as presented. Nothing here is a credit opinion, an implied rating, or a judgement that any figure is sufficient.

A filed value that cannot be true.
  • The components PSC publishes for FY2019 do not sum to the system input it publishes for the same filing — a defect in the published export, not in what the utility filed.

Each is reproduced exactly as filed and excluded from every figure computed on this page. A number that contradicts its own audit is a finding about the filing, not a gap in ours.

Water balance, FY2025 · 394.7 MG system input
Billed 377.4 MG Unbilled authorized 17.1 MG Apparent loss 0 MG Real loss 0.14 MG

PSC 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.

Other Wisconsin systems

PSC publishes no county or connection count for these systems, so they cannot be ranked against this one. These are other filers, not comparables.

Where is it going?

This page says how much. 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.

Sources and corrections. Every figure above is either filed by the utility or computed from filed figures, and each one says which. 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.
