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.

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.

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 29.7 MG sheet Sheet1, cell H89 · 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

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.
