What Chaseburg Water And Sewer 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.

What the record shows

1.8% non-revenue water in FY2025, higher than 3% of the 562 Wisconsin systems that filed that year.

1.8% non-revenue water in FY2025, against 562 Wisconsin filings for the same yearA strip of 562 filings on a 0 to 64% axis. The median is 16.6%. This system is 1.8%. 4 filings above 64% are drawn at the right edge.0%10%20%30%40%50%60%This system 1.8%Wisconsin median 16.6%
The reported figure is not stable enough to act on. It has moved an average of 10.8 points a year, against a Wisconsin median of 5.1, including 40% to 13% between FY2023 and FY2024. A distribution system's real losses do not change that fast — pipe does not deteriorate or repair itself in a single year. A series that moves like this is describing how the water is being measured and recorded, not how much of it is being lost, and which year is closer to true cannot be settled from this filing.

Debt outstanding, and what covers the interest

$510,349 of long-term debt outstanding at the end of 2025, across 1 bond issue. This is principal outstanding on a combined water and sewer utility's balance sheet, which the Commission files as one.

This utility's balance sheet and income statement are water and sewer, 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.

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 18.1 MG sheet Sheet1, cell H95 · 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.
