What Belmont Municipal Water And Electric 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.

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.

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.

Where these volumes come from
  • System input 94.5 MG sheet Sheet1, cell H43 · 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
  • Billed authorized 85.4 MG sheet Sheet1, cell I43 · thousands of gallons, declared in the column header, divided by 1,000
  • Unbilled authorized 0.07 MG sheet Sheet1, cell O43 · thousands of gallons, declared in the column header, divided by 1,000
  • Apparent loss 0 MG sheet Sheet1, cell R43 · thousands of gallons, declared in the column header, divided by 1,000

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.
