# Stitzer Sanitary District — water loss as filed PSC · PWS 5700 · filings 2016–2024 https://municorn.us/water-loss/wi/stitzer-sanitary-district/ > **Cite as:** Municorn.us, "Stitzer Sanitary District — water loss as filed", Municorn water loss index, https://municorn.us/water-loss/wi/stitzer-sanitary-district/ (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 Stitzer Sanitary District reported **22.3% non-revenue water** in FY2024, higher than 69% of the 561 Wisconsin systems that filed that year. **The series is not stable enough to act on**: it moves 12.1 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. **A filed value that cannot be true.** Each is reproduced exactly as filed and excluded from every figure computed here. A number that contradicts its own audit is a finding about the filing, not a gap in ours. - The components PSC publishes for FY2022 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. ## Filed history | Year | Non-revenue water % | System input (MG) | |---|---|---| | 2024 | 22.3% | 4.62 | | 2023 | 17.4% | 4.61 | | 2022 | | 4.71 | | 2021 | 17.7% | 4.7 | | 2020 | 33.2% | 5.64 | | 2019 | 9.4% | 5.03 | | 2018 | 0.5% | 4.7 | | 2017 | 20.9% | 4.59 | | 2016 | 31.9% | 5 | Balance closure is `inapplicable` on every filed year above, so the column that repeated it is not shown — but it is not the same reason every year. FY2016, FY2017, FY2018, FY2019, FY2020, FY2021, FY2023, FY2024: PSC derives water losses from system input minus authorized consumption, so this decomposition holds by construction. FY2022: The components PSC publishes contradict each other, which is a defect in the export rather than in the filing. ## 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.

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.

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.
