# Maine Water — water loss as filed PSC · PWS 3298 · filings 2018–2025 https://municorn.us/water-loss/wi/maine-water/ > **Cite as:** Municorn.us, "Maine Water — water loss as filed", Municorn water loss index, https://municorn.us/water-loss/wi/maine-water/ (source filings retrieved 2026-09-08). > **Licence:** CC BY 4.0 — https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ — reuse and redistribution are permitted with attribution to Municorn.us and a link to this URL. > **Caveat that must travel with these figures:** "Water loss" is at least three different quantities depending on the jurisdiction, and nothing here supports a comparison between states. ## Summary Maine Water reported **6.4% non-revenue water** in FY2025, higher than 14% of the 562 Wisconsin systems that filed that year. **The series is not stable enough to act on**: it moves 22.9 points a year against a Wisconsin median of 5.1. **The water balance is not a check here.** PSC derives water losses from system input minus authorized consumption, so this decomposition holds by construction. ## Filed history | Year | Non-revenue water % | System input (MG) | |---|---|---| | 2025 | 6.4% | 4.53 | | 2024 | 10.9% | 4.32 | | 2023 | 2.2% | 4.98 | | 2022 | 17.3% | 5.9 | | 2021 | 58.1% | 10.4 | | 2020 | 94.8% | 83.8 | | 2019 | 55.8% | 8.22 | | 2018 | 40.3% | 1.51 | ## What this source cannot say No filed year on this page carries a retail rate or a production cost, so no figure here is valued. A loss volume is not a loss in dollars, and this site will not supply a price that was not filed. ## Source Public Service Commission of Wisconsin, municipal annual report Schedule W-15. Retrieved 2026-09-08. https://apps.psc.wi.gov/ARS/WEGSqueries/default.aspx The FY2025 loss figure: (system input − billed authorized) ÷ system input × 100, from system input volume at `Sheet1!H296`; billed authorized consumption at `Sheet1!I296` — in `data/archive/wi-psc-water-audit/2026-09-08-5ef7d6e2fdbd.csv` (sha256 5ef7d6e2fdbdac2b, retrieved 2026-09-08, https://apps.psc.wi.gov/ARS/WEGSqueries/default.aspx), read by `src/scrape/wi.ts` at 6d6d5f59e8fb. Volumes are normalized to million gallons on ingest; the export reports them in the unit each filing states. Figures are as filed unless stated otherwise.

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. Source: Public Service Commission of Wisconsin, annual report financial schedules, 2016–2025.
