<br /> <br />WASTE WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Provides for the administration, operation and maintenance of the sanitary <br />sewer system, laboratory and lift stations for the sanitary treatment of <br />household, commercial and industrial waste deposited into the sanitary sewer <br />system. <br /> <br />1995 BUDGET COMPARED WITH 1994 BUDGET <br /> <br />The 1995 Waste Water Treatment System (WWTS) budget calls for expenditures in the <br />amount of $705,800. This represents a $72,750 or 11.5% increase from the <br />adopted 1994 budget. When depreciation and reserves for plant replacement <br />and expansion is removed from both the 1994 adopted budget and the 1995 proposed <br />budget, it is more appropriate to state that the WWTS budget increased by $42,750 or <br />6.8 percent. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />The major change in the WWTS budget is the increase in personal services and in the <br />capital outlay categories. The personal services category increased approximately 10 <br />percent due to the hiring of an operator/electrician rather than the more typical WWTS <br />operator position. The transfers line item is for administrative/finance department staff <br />time dedicated to this department and this is also a personnel related expenditure. The <br />main increase in the capital outlay category is due to the purchase of a used vehicle to <br />serve as the truck for the sewer jet machine. <br /> <br />The reserve for plant replacement and expansion increased by $30,000 or 10 percent to a <br />total of $330,000. A major plant improvement project took place in 1994 and over $1 <br />million of bonds were issued for this improvement. This was phase one of the plant <br />expansion project. The balance of the plant expansion project is estimated at $4.8 <br />million. The plant reserves will be necessary to help fund some of this improvement so <br />that the semi annual bond payments can be financed mainly by sewer connection charges. <br /> <br />Expenditures for various components of the WWTS are shown below. Customer charges <br />for 1995 are estimated at $500,000. Accordingly, excluding the reserve/depreciation line <br />item, revenues exceed projected expenditures. It is hoped that the reserve/depreciation <br />line item will equal the funds generated from sewer connection charges. <br /> <br />1995 Projected <br /> <br />1994 Budget <br /> <br />Reserve/Depreciation <br /> <br />$ 50,350 <br />181,550 <br />49,250 <br />40,800 <br />53,850 <br />375,800 <br />330,000 <br />$705,800 <br /> <br />$ 51,100 <br />164,700 <br />46,650 <br />24,450 <br />52,650 <br />339,550 <br />300,000 <br />$639,550 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Plant Administration <br />Plant Operations <br />Laboratory <br />Sewer System Collection <br />Lift Stations <br />
