In March, NEW Water was alerted that transitions underway at the U.S. Forest Service, which is the funding agency behind the grant to purchase trees in our region, may impact the program.
As part of our ongoing pollution prevention efforts, NEW Water voluntarily continued sampling at its two treatment facilities in 2024 on a quarterly basis. Starting in spring 2024, NEW Water expanded its PFAS monitoring into the collection system (sewershed** outside of the treatment facilities –see NEW Water service area map) to identify possible sources of PFAS. NEW Water is not currently subject to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) PFAS surface water criteria or monitoring requirements. After a quality assurance/quality control review, an annual data summary has been compiled.

For the 2026 budget, a typical family cost will pay about $28 per month for NEW Water’s services. This is an increase of about $1.68 per month over the 2025 budget. NEW Water provides continuous service throughout the year as a wholesale provider, servicing 15 municipal customers and does not bill residents directly (if you have questions about your bill, contact your municipality). Each municipality calculates their bills according to wastewater services they provide their residents, businesses, and industries. Bills from municipalities may include other costs such as the operations and maintenance of their sanitary sewer system, which then connects to the NEW Water system.
