Exeland Municipal Water

What Exeland Municipal 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.

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

82.2% non-revenue water in FY2025, higher than 100% of the 562 Wisconsin systems that filed that year.

82.2% 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 82.2%. 3 filings above 64% are drawn at the right edge.0%10%20%30%40%50%60%This system 82.2%Wisconsin median 16.6%
The reported figure is not stable enough to act on. It has moved an average of 16.8 points a year, against a Wisconsin median of 5.1, including 14% to 84% between FY2017 and FY2018. 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

No bonds outstanding at the end of 2025. This is principal outstanding on the water utility's own balance sheet, on the Commission's own test: it files no electric operating report.

No bond balance is not the same as no debt. 2,310 of the 5,921 utility-years in this extract file no bonds, and many of those utilities pay interest anyway on an advance from their own municipality, which the Commission files under account 430 rather than as a bond.

This utility filed no interest expense for the year, so there is nothing for a coverage ratio to cover.

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.
