WASTE WATER TREATI~IENT SYSTEPI Provides for the administration, operation and maintenance of the sanitary sewer system, laboratory and lift stations for the sanitary treatment of household, commercial and industrial waste deposited into the sanitary sewer system. 2002 BUDGET COMPARED WITH 2001 BUDGET The 2002 wastewater treatment system (WWTS) budget calls for expenditures in the amount of $1,219,150. This represents a $59,850 or 5.2% increase over the adopted 2001 budget. Over half of this WWTS budget is for plant depreciation and debt service. The main reason for this budget increase is the additional capital outlay expenditures. The 2002 capital outlay category calls for $44,000 to be spent retrofitting the Jackson Avenue lift station. This is the oldest and one of the most heavily used lift station in the city. This lift station serves thc Elk River industrial park and the secondary schools. This lift station is showing some "wear and tear" and the city would rather be proactive and not wait until an emergency situation develops at this lift station. The other major expenditure in this budget category is for the slip-line projects at 6th and 7th Street off of Irving Avenue, and 8th Street off of Upland Avenue. The slip-line projects are similar to the one completed in the Holt Avenue and 8th Street area in 2000, whereby the sewer main in the street is lined in order to limit penetration by tree roots and backup problems. The other increases in the WWTS budget are in the personal services category for normal wage adjustments, in the supplies category for purchase of ultra-violet hght bulbs (required every other year or so), and a $10,000 increase in the depreciation line item. The WWTS department includes four full- time employees plus one summer seasonal employee. Based on the 2002 projections, it appears that the WWTS revenues will exceed expenditures. The biggest uncertainty in projecting revenues relates to SAC charges, which are based on new buildings being constructed in the urban service district. The $280,000 SAC projection for 2002 is based on building permits being issued for 215 single-family homes. Any excess funds in the WWTS budget will be reserved for future major repair/maintenance expenses or for bond payments when SAC fees are insufficient. 1999 2000 2001 2002 ACTUAL ACTUAL ADOPTED PROPOSED CIIARGES FOR SERVICES OTHER ILl;VENUE TOTAL REVENUES USE OF RESERVES TOTAL SOURCE OF FUNDS $797,101 $877,655 $850,000 $950,000 460,378 821,379 376,000 360,000 $1,257,479 $1,699,034 $1,226,000 $l,310,000 0 0 0 0 $1,257,479 $1,699,034 $1,226,000 $1,310,000 CHARGES FOR SERVICES Customer Charges OTHER REVENUE Sewer Connection Charges Intcrcst Income REVENUE ANALYSIS $950,000 $950,000 280,000 80,000 360,000 TOTAL REVENUES $1,310,000
