Exeland Municipal Water

What Exeland Municipal Water 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.

(system input − billed authorized) ÷ system input × 100

  • system input volume 15.8 sheet Sheet1, cell H164 · 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

Read from data/archive/wi-psc-water-audit/2026-09-08-5ef7d6e2fdbd.csv (SHA-256 5ef7d6e2fdbdac2b), our archived copy of the file as it stood on 2026-09-08. That path is committed to the repository and is not served here. The agency publishes its own current copy at https://apps.psc.wi.gov/ARS/WEGSqueries/default.aspx, which may since have been revised.

Not estimable from what PSC publishes. A loss percentage cannot be priced without the volume it is a share of.

What the record shows

82.2% non-revenue water in FY2025, higher than 100% of the 562 Wisconsin systems that filed that year.

82.2% 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 82.2%. 3 filings above 64% are drawn at the right edge.0%10%20%30%40%50%60%This system 82.2%Wisconsin median 16.6%
This series is flagged for review. The filed loss percentage has moved an average of 16.8 points a year, against a Wisconsin median of 5.1, including 14% to 84% between FY2017 and FY2018. The flag is that comparison and nothing more: mean absolute change per year, above the seventy-fifth percentile for this state.

It does not establish what moved. A meter replacement program, a main break, a change of billing system, a corrected prior-year filing and an ordinary reporting error all produce a series that looks like this, and a filed water loss audit does not say which happened. What the flag does say is that the years disagree with each other by more than most of the state's do, so a single year of this series is a weak basis for a decision without the records behind it.

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.

No bond balance is not the same as no debt. 2,310 of the 5,921 utility-years in this extract file no bonds, and many of those utilities pay interest anyway on an advance from their own municipality, which the Commission files under account 430 rather than as a bond.

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

Water balance, FY2025 · 15.8 MG system input
Billed 2.81 MG Unbilled authorized 0.05 MG Apparent loss 0.04 MG Real loss 12.9 MG

PSC derives water losses from system input minus authorized consumption, so these parts sum to the whole on every filing. What a filing can get wrong is which of these numbers were measured.

Where these volumes come from
  • System input 15.8 MG sheet Sheet1, cell H164 · 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 2.81 MG sheet Sheet1, cell I164 · thousands of gallons, declared in the column header, divided by 1,000
  • Unbilled authorized 0.05 MG sheet Sheet1, cell O164 · thousands of gallons, declared in the column header, divided by 1,000
  • Apparent loss 0.04 MG sheet Sheet1, cell R164 · thousands of gallons, declared in the column header, divided by 1,000
  • Real loss 12.9 MG sheet Sheet1, cell U164 · thousands of gallons, declared in the column header, divided by 1,000

Balance closure is inapplicable on every filed year above, so the column that repeated it is not shown. PSC derives water losses from system input minus authorized consumption, so this decomposition holds by construction. This is neither a pass nor a disclosure gap.

Other Wisconsin systems

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 values the loss. It cannot say which accounts, which zones, or which meters, and it cannot say how much of that value is collectable. Answering either 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.

If a number here looks wrong, tell us: the error may be in the filing, in our reading of it, or in something the export does not show. Send a correction. We will check it against the source, correct the page where it is wrong, and say what changed.
