Kimberly Municipal Water
What Kimberly 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.
- Non-revenue water, FY2025
- 34.4% Computed from filed system input and billed consumption.
- system input volume 220.6 sheet Sheet1, cell H259 · 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 consumption 144.8 sheet Sheet1, cell I259 · thousands of gallons, declared in the column header, divided by 1,000
- Annual value of the filed loss
- — Not estimable from what PSC publishes. A loss percentage cannot be priced without the volume it is a share of.

What the record shows
34.4% non-revenue water in FY2025, higher than 89% of the 562 Wisconsin systems that filed that year.
- The figure is getting worse across the record.
- The figure moved from 39% to 29% between FY2022 and FY2023.
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.

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 220.6 MG sheet Sheet1, cell H259 · 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 144.8 MG sheet Sheet1, cell I259 · thousands of gallons, declared in the column header, divided by 1,000
- Unbilled authorized 44.6 MG sheet Sheet1, cell O259 · thousands of gallons, declared in the column header, divided by 1,000
- Apparent loss 0 MG sheet Sheet1, cell R259 · thousands of gallons, declared in the column header, divided by 1,000
- Real loss 31.3 MG sheet Sheet1, cell U259 · 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.

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.

Every figure above is either filed by the utility or computed from filed figures, and each one says which. 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.
