## Summary

Wilson Municipal Water reported **33.6% non-revenue water** in FY2025, higher than 89% of the 562 Wisconsin systems that filed that year. **The series is not stable enough to act on**: it moves 22.4 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.

## 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.

The FY2025 loss figure: (system input − billed authorized) ÷ system input × 100, from system input volume at `Sheet1!H553`; billed authorized consumption at `Sheet1!I553` — 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. If a number here is wrong it is wrong in the filing or wrong in
our reading of it, and both are worth knowing: ammar@municorn.us

## 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.

| Year | Debt outstanding | Issues | Net revenue | Interest | Coverage |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| 2025 | $0 | 0 | -$19,454 | $0 | — |
| 2024 | $0 | 0 | -$14,865 | $0 | — |
| 2023 | $0 | 0 | $8,926 | $0 | — |

| 2021 | $0 | 0 | $10,524 | $0 | — |

| 2019 | $6,000 | 1 | $10,828 | $450 | 24.06 |
| 2018 | $12,000 | 1 | $6,852 | $725 | 9.45 |

| 2016 | $22,000 | 1 | $5,088 | $1,225 | 4.15 |

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

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 retrieval date is on the HTML page and in data/archive/manifest.jsonl, and deliberately not here:
     src/build/dist-check.ts flags any corpus twin carrying today's date, because a date that moves with the
     build rewrites every page claim daily. This extract's retrieval date is a real fixed date that happened
     to be today when it was archived, and the check cannot tell those two apart from dist/ alone. The page's
     own citation block already dates it. -->
