<br /> elm Unrestricted (Unrestricted designated reserve*
<br /> *Unrestricted Designated Reserve: This reserve is established to address the short-term financial variability inherent in operating a
<br /> Water Utility. Potential sources of this variability include but are not limited to:risks associated with natural disasters,reduction in
<br /> overall customer usage,changes in total system usage resulting from the actions of large customers,failure to achieve budgeted levels
<br /> of net income,changes in interest income,and general operational exposures.
<br /> The target level for this reserve,included as the red line in the chart above,is 6 months operating expenditures less depreciation plus
<br /> the sum of next year's total principal and interest payments. The balance above this target level shall be unrestricted.
<br /> The cash balance increased due to cash provided by operations exceeding cash used for noncapital and capital activities.As mentioned
<br /> in the analysis of the Electric fund it is important to continue to monitor future cash need with the use of a projection
<br /> and capital improvement plan. People
