Lakeland Sanitary District #1
What Lakeland Sanitary District #1 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
- — Computed from filed system input and billed consumption.
- system input volume 116.8 sheet Sheet1, cell H269 · 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 consumption 227.5 sheet Sheet1, cell I269 · thousands of gallons, declared in the column header, divided by 1,000
- 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 The components PSC publishes contradict each other, which is a defect in the export rather than in the filing.

What the record shows
21.9% non-revenue water in FY2022, higher than 66% of the 562 Wisconsin systems that filed that year.
- The figure is roughly flat across the record.
- 4 of 10 years carry no figure — which by PSC's own note means it had insufficient data to calculate one.
Debt outstanding, and what covers the interest
$5.9M 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.

| 2025 | $5.9M | 1 |

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.

- The components PSC publishes for FY2025 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.
- The components PSC publishes for FY2024 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.
- The components PSC publishes for FY2023 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.
- The components PSC publishes for FY2021 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.

Balance closure is inapplicable on every filed year above, so the column that repeated it is not shown. FY2016, FY2017, FY2018, FY2019, FY2020, FY2022: PSC derives water losses from system input minus authorized consumption, so this decomposition holds by construction. FY2021, FY2023, FY2024, FY2025: The components PSC publishes contradict each other, which is a defect in the export rather than in the filing. This is neither a pass nor a disclosure gap.

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.

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.
