CITY OF FOREST HILL
Water and Sewer Fund Revenues
The City’s Water and Sewer Fund is a proprietary fund that is set up to run much like that of a private
business; to recover operating, debt and capital costs from user charges. The two major revenue sources
are water and sewer charges. The City performed an internal sewer rate study during FY 2017 and intends
to continue internal rate studies on both water and sewer rates bi‐annually. The next rate study will be on
the water rates and will be performed during FY 2018.
These rate analyses are combined with consumption trends to project water and sewer budgeted
revenues. The City of Forest Hill purchases the water and sewer services from the City of Fort Worth,
Texas for the water and sewer services provided to Forest Hill.
