Cash and Investments
The monthly metrics dashboard for cash and investments provides a monthly comparison of cash and
investment balances and graphs that present long-term investments by maturity, type, and rating. The
Utility’s investments are typically fixed-income and held-to-maturity unless called before maturity by the
issuer. Held to maturity investments recognize monthly mark to market adjustments that ultimately are not
realized when the investment matures.
➢ Total cash and investments increased $452,000 or 3.4% from February 2025 primarily from routine
operating activity.
➢ Received interest and distributions of $15,000 and recorded unrealized market adjustments of
($26,600) along with ($700) in management fees, resulting in a net portfolio loss of ($12,300) for the
month.
➢ Total interest and investment income earned (excluding market value adjustments) on all accounts for
the month was $35,000 and $100,200 year-to-date.

Electric Substation Construction Authorization & Debt Financing
On April 23, 2026, the PSCW approved the Notice of Investigation associated with our Electric Substation
Construction Authorization which moves the project closer to formal State approvals. Upon final approval
(anticipated for May or June 2026), we will begin the bidding process for longer lead time equipment such
as the power transformers and regulators. We continue to work with our bond consultant to determine the
best course of action for the debt issuance which remains anticipated for some time in 2026.
Cost of Clean 2025 Report (Wastewater)
Annually a local engineering firm completes a comprehensive wastewater survey of municipal sewer
systems within the state. The survey provides comparative data for systems across numerous metrics
including rates, system configurations and operational data. A brief summary will be provided displaying
our system metrics compared to our peers.
This concludes my report. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 324-7920 or

SUBJECT: Consumer Confidence Report
What is the Consumer Confidence Report:
• The Consumer Confidence Reports (CCR) is required by the Federal
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
• The CCR must be prepared and distributed annually to all water system
customers to provide information on water quality for the previous monitoring
year. The report identifies detected contaminants, compliance with drinking water
rules, and educational language, and is based on information reported to the
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
Summary of Consumer Confidence Results:
Waupun Utilities adheres to the highest state and federal drinking water standards. We
routinely collect more samples and run more tests than are required by the EPA and
DNR. Those test results are reflected in our Annual Drinking Water Quality Report,
showing Waupun’s water once again meets or exceeds all federal and state standards
for health and safety.
Unless otherwise noted, results are based on testing conducted in 2025. We are
pleased to report that we continue to supply high quality water that meets or exceeds all
federal and state standards for health and safety.
Please review the attached report in preparation for an in-depth discussion on Monday.
WAUPUN UTILITIES 2025 ANNUAL WATER QUALITY REPORT
The Waupun Utilities is pleased to present you with its annual Water Quality Report for 2026. This report
provides a complete summary of water quality information from 2025 and also includes general information
describing the city’s water system, services and other activities of interest. The Waupun Utilities is committed
to providing its customers with clear information describing water quality. Informed customers are strong
allies.
During 2025, the Utility had no violations of maximum contaminant levels or other water quality
standards.
Our Water Supply
Waupun Utilities obtains its groundwater supply from four wells ranging in depth from 611 to 921 feet. These
wells penetrate the St. Peter, Prairie du Chien, Trempealeau, Franconia, Galesville, Eau Claire and Mr. Simon
formations. These four wells are capable of pumping 7.7 million gallons per day.
The Utilities average day design flow is 1.2 million gallons per day based on the capacity of one iron filter and
one reverse osmosis system in operation. The maximum capacity of the plant is 2.9 million gallons per day with
both iron filters and both reverse osmosis systems in service.
The plant removes iron and manganese, which may cause discoloring and taste issues. Raw well water contains
approximately 25 grains of hardness. The treatment plant softens wat er down to approximately 5 grains of
hardness, requiring no in-home softening or iron removal.
In 2025 fluoride dosages from all City sample sites averaged 0.726 PPM. Water samples are routinely taken
and analyzed for contaminants as required by Federal and State regulations. Unless otherwise noted,
information shown in this report is for the period January 1 through December 31, 2025. This report contains
many terms and abbreviations related to water quality that our customers may not be familiar with. A
summary of terms, abbreviations and definitions is included in this report to help you better understand the
information.
Why are there contaminants in my drinking water?
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of
some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health
risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the
Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791), or by visiting their Office of
Water website at www.epa.gov/OW.
Do I need to take special precautions?
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.
Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have
undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and
infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from
their health care providers. EPA/Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen
the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the
environmental protection agency’s Safe Water Drinking Hotline (800-426-4791). The Waupun Utilities
vigilantly tests and monitors the City’s water supply to assure the end quality to consumers. Test results have
detected some contaminants. The Water Quality Data Table section of this report provides information
showing that all water quality criteria met or exceeded Federal and State requirements in 2025.
The EPA has determined that City of Waupun water is safe at the levels detected.
Water Quality at the Wells
Samples are taken periodically (as required by sampling schedules issued by the Wisconsin DNR) at Utility
wells to monitor concentrations of several common indicators. The information shown below shows ranges
of results of water samples taken directly from the Utilities four active wells, in accordance with sampling
requirements and schedules provided by the DNR.

Health Information
Lead Radon
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems,
especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water
is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines
and home plumbing. The Waupun Utilities is responsible for providing
high quality drinking water but cannot control the variety of materials
used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for
several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing
your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or
cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to
have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing
methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from
the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791) at
www.epa.gov/safewater/lead
Radon is a radioactive gas that you can’t see, taste, or smell. It is found
throughout the U.S. Radon can move up through the ground and into a
home through cracks and holes in the foundation. Radon can build up to
high levels in all types of homes. Radon can also get into indoor air when
released from tap water from showering, washing dishes, and other
household activities. Compared to radon entering the home thr ough soil,
radon entering the home through tap water will in most cases be a small
source of radon in indoor air. Radon is a known human carcinogen.
Breathing air containing radon can lead to lung cancer. Drinking water
containing radon may also cause increased risk of stomach cancer. If you
are concerned about radon in your home, test the air in your home.
Testing is inexpensive and easy. Fix your home if the level of radon in your
air is 4 Picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L) or higher. There are simple wa ys
to fix a radon problem that aren’t too costly. For additional information,
call your state radon program or call EPA’s Radon Hotline (800 -SOS-
RADON).
Nitrates
Nitrates in drinking water at levels above 10 ppm are a health risk for infants of less than six months of age. High nitrate levels in drinking water can
cause blue baby syndrome. Nitrate levels may rise quickly for short periods of time because of rainfall or agricultural activity . If you are caring for an
infant you should ask advice from your health care provider.
Additional Lead Awareness
Which homes are most at risk of having lead in drinking water?
• Homes with lead household plumbing. This can be determined by a licensed plumber.
• Homes with copper piping and lead solder installed between 1982 and 1987. Lead -based solder was
banned for use after this time.
• Homes with faucets or fittings of brass which contain some lead. Plumbing and fixtures installed
before January 1, 2014 or purchased from sources outside of the United States may contain lead.
How to reduce the risk of lead in your drinking water:
• Flush your plumbing before using tap water for drinking or cooking. Flush by running the kitchen
faucet on cold for a minimum of 3 minutes.
• Use only cold water for cooking and drinking. Water from the hot tap water can dissolve lead more
easily than cold water. Boiling water will not reduce the amount of lead in your drinking or cooking
water. In fact, boiling can concentrate the lead in water.
• Inspect your faucet aerator. The aerator on the end of your faucet is a screen that can catch debris,
including particles of lead. It is recommended to periodically remove the aerator and rinse out any
debris.
• Purchase a home filtration system. Home drinking water filtration systems can reduce or eliminate
lead. Be sure to look for products certified by NSF/ANSI under Standard 53 f or removal of lead.
• Replace your lead service line or interior plumbing. Replacement must be done by a licensed
plumber under contract from the homeowner.

Waupun Utilities Planning, Improvements, and Operations
Planning
• Waupun Utilities owns and maintains $25,500,000 in assets that treat, store, and distribute water to
your home or business. These assets consist of four wells, a water treatment facility, one
underground reservoir, two elevated water towers, over 50 miles of distribution mains, 3,500
services, and 457 hydrants.
• It is our utmost priority to provide safe, quality water at all times. We continue to monitor for specific
contaminants, and strive to meet compliance requirements.
Operations
• Unidirectional flushing (UDF) program to remove mineral and sediment deposits that accumulate
over time in the distribution system. UDF is a process designed to move water through pipelines in
one direction at a high velocity and from a single water source. This systematic, street -by-street
method of flushing is labor-intensive, requiring detailed preparation, planning and execution. UDF
has been shown to scour water mains more effectively than traditional flushing. This highly effective
flushing program will minimize the frequency of flushing events required by WDNR. In addition,
UDF will promote water conservation and improve water quality.
• By regular valve exercising we will have detailed records to ensure the operability of our distribution
system. Surveying helps identify the condition and location of all our valves. Knowing the condition
of the valves and having an updated GIS system helps eliminate higher costs associated with water
main breaks, lost time digging up buried valves, and congested traffic due to excavating roadways.
• Leak detection surveys are conducted on the distribution system with the aid of a correlator. A water
leak/break is determined by the use of a correlator to find difficult leaks that are not easily located
with traditional acoustical methods. The correlator utilizes two transmitters with sensitive
microphones to listen on either side of the known or unknown leak and calculates (correl ates) the
exact distance to the leak by use of the signal delay, the sensor distance , and the sound velocity.
Correlating reduces water loss, unplanned service disruptions, and reduces O&M costs.

WPPI Board of Directors Meeting
Jeff Stanek and I attended the WPPI Board of Directors meeting held April 23 at WPPI
Energy in Sun Prairie. The agenda included the election of two board members to the
Executive Committee.
The Board received a financial update on the 2026 bond transaction, including progress
and key considerations. The Power Supply Report provided updates on potential
generation projects under evaluation.
Member Relations, Communications, and Services highlighted several initiatives,
including improvements to key account outage communications, enhancements to
member website services, and ongoing development of the Bring-Your-Own-Device
demand response program.
Overall, the meeting focused on governance actions, financial planning, future power
supply opportunities, and member-focused service enhancements.
Data Center Load Challenges Grid Reliability
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has issued a Level 3 alert
(its highest level) in response to growing grid reliability risks caused by large data
centers. Recent incidents involved data centers suddenly dropping load or rapidly
fluctuating demand, which can destabilize the power system.
NERC is mandating seven immediate actions for key grid stakeholders, including
transmission operators, system planners, and balancing authorities, to improve how
these large “computational loads” are modeled, studied, operated, and controlled.
These actions specifically target high-density energy users such as AI training facilities
and cryptocurrency mining operations.
The alert reflects broader concerns about rapid load growth. NERC projects that
summer peak demand will increase 24% over the next decade, with data centers driving
the majority of this growth.
Data center load behavior is now considered a material grid reliability risk, prompting
urgent operational and planning changes across the power sector.

Water Treatment Facility:
• Call-In Report
No call-ins to report.
• Operations
Staff successfully completed a potassium permanganate soak to rejuvenate the manganese greensand
filtration media. This regeneration process restores the media’s oxidative capacity, ensuring continued
optimal performance in removing iron and manganese. Routine monitoring will follow to confirm efficiency
and identify any need for further treatment.
Standby power was tested at Well #4 to verify system reliability in preparation for any potential future
power outages. The utility’s trailer-mounted generator is connected quarterly and operated under load for
several hours to ensure staff is properly trained and confident in the safe setup and operation of the
equipment. This procedure also tests the reliability of the existing equipment in the event of future needs.
The EPA offered a free cybersecurity assessment through a third party. Staff conducted a preliminary
meeting with General Dynamics Information Technology and are currently collecting information for the
assessment report to develop a risk mitigation plan.
Wastewater Treatment Facility:
• Call-In Report
Staff responded to several call-ins due to multiple sub-main breaker trips, failure of the process building
breaker, record April rainfall, and higher-than-normal flows. Staff handled the challenge of longer days
and unexpected late-night work flawlessly, maintaining operations and ensuring the public was protected
from any unnecessary sewage backups due to high flows and continuous power outages.
• Operations
The treatment facility experienced higher than normal flows over the past few weeks due to the highest
recorded precipitation for the month of April, resulting in blending at the facility.
AC Engineering was onsite to repair both the existing main and feeder circuit breaker s for the Process
Building/MCC-68. Over the course of two weeks, the main circuit breaker would randomly trip. During a
planned outage, the flux transfer solenoid wiring was disconnected, effectively converting the existing
Operations (continued)
480V circuit breaker into a disconnect switch to prevent nuisance tripping to the plant. In the event of a
true fault, the new 480V Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) main breaker will provide diagnostic data.
During the most recent tripping of the existing 480V main circuit breaker, the 800A feeder circuit breaker
for the Process Building would not close after it had been opened to bring the plant online slowly. After
troubleshooting the feeder circuit breaker, staff found a bent cam within the mechanism that prevented
the circuit breaker from closing. Since we had an existing spare 1600A circuit breaker
(Westinghouse/Cutler-Hammer SPB 150), the decision was made to swap out the defective feeder circuit
breaker for the spare. During this same planned outage, we swapped the circuit breaker and adjusted the
trip unit protective settings as close as possible to the 800A defective circuit breaker. While the settings
don’t exactly match, the previous settings were likely incorrect, as the Process Building’s local main circuit
breaker was set for 1200A (but was fed from a 800A).
Eaton representatives were onsite to assess retrofitting the existing MCC panel to new modern breakers.
New Eaton circuit breakers will improve system protection and reliability. AC engineering suggests a
coordination study be performed at the same time to ensure the downstream circuit breakers are
coordinated with the new main switchboard circuit breakers.
A valve repair technician was onsite after recent power outages to correct the ABNR block feed valves.
The five ABNR block feed valves on a power loss would fail to close, causing possible excessive
pressures within the PBR glass. The valves have been mechanically reversed so that they fail open,
therefore eliminating any possible pressure spikes within glass system. Additional SCADA programming
will be needed to reflect these mechanical changes correctly in the PLC program and vis ible display.
Spring land application of biosolids has been successfully completed. The application provided
approximately 160 units of nitrogen to the soil and was carried out in full compliance with DNR guidelines
and permitting requirements.
Fourth grade classes from Central Wisconsin Christian (CWC) along with 50 Beaver Dam High School
Chemistry (AP) and Principles of Sustainability class recently toured the wastewater plant. The visit was a
great success, with excellent interaction between our staff and the students. The students en gaged with
various aspects of the plant operations, and our team was pleased to share insights and answer the
questions. It was a valuable educational experience for the students and helped foster positive
community relations.

Collection and Distribution Crew
Call-In Report
There are no call-ins to report this month.
Water Operations
Staff has completed the spring water leak detection survey of the distribution system. One leak was identified
during the survey. The crew successfully correlated and pinpointed the leak, and repairs were completed promptly
to prevent further water loss and maintain system integrity. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of staff, along
with the consistency of conducting this survey twice per year, the system is performing at its highest level since
the program was implemented in 2015.
At two of the four buildings within the Bayberry Lane apartment complex, water service has been activated and an
additional 13 meters have been installed. Staff continues to verify that each meter is correctly installed and
properly assigned to the corresponding unit. This brings the total number of acti vated meters to 30 out of 60.
Staff repaired six damaged water main valve boxes. These components are critical to the distribution system, as
they provide access to operate valves for maintenance and other system needs.
A new water and sewer service was installed in the 200 block of N. State St.
All sidewalk and curb repairs associated with water main breaks and service leaks h ave been completed.
Sanitary Sewer Operations
Sanitary sewer televising has been paused until October to allow staff to focus on spring mainten ance activities.
Upcoming work includes televising 12-inch and larger mains in Basins D and E.
Visu-Sewer completed repairs on nine manholes experiencing infiltration. These repairs utilized an injection
grouting process, a trenchless method used to stop groundwater infiltration and seal leaks. The process involves
drilling injection holes at strategic locations in the manhole wall, followed by pumping flexible polyurethane grout
into the voids. The grout reacts with groundwater, expands, and seals the leak in under a minute.
Performing this work annually is essential to prevent excess groundwater from entering the sanitary system,
which can overload the wastewater treatment plant, increase treatment costs, and compromise infrastructure
integrity.
Facilities
Hometown windows completed the remainder of the new window installments.
