The filing does not publish enough components to decompose system input.

What the record shows

0.0% non-revenue water in FY2025, higher than 0% of the 562 Wisconsin systems that filed that year.

0.0% 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 0.0%. 4 filings above 64% are drawn at the right edge.0%10%20%30%40%50%60%This system 0.0%Wisconsin median 16.6%

FY2016 reports exactly 0% loss, which no distribution system achieves. Every system loses something to leakage, flushing and metering error, so a zero is a reporting artifact rather than a result.

Debt outstanding, and what covers the interest

$222,100 of long-term debt outstanding at the end of 2025, across 2 bond issues. 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.

Water balance, FY2025

This filing reports totals but not the components a balance is made of, so the identity input = billed + unbilled authorized + apparent loss + real loss has nothing to be tested against. Absent: real loss.

insufficient · not checkable

This is recorded as unverifiable and not reported as a pass. The difference is the one between a disclosure gap and a clean bill of health.

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.
