Oshkosh Water Case Arguments in Dane Circuit Court
In Madison July 10 the Oshkosh Water Works valuation dispute moved as city bought the utility under an indeterminate permit. The Oshkosh side seeks a $65 000 increase in value from $725 000 to $590 950 while contending the commission underestimates going value. Attorneys argued the state should adopt a 15 percent going value and consider mile‑by‑mile main value, with the court to decide if the award may be adjusted under prior rulings.
