CITY OF SAGINAW
ENTERPRISE FUND OVERVIEW OF REVENUES
2022-2023

WASTEWATER SURCHARGE:
All commercial or industrial customers who discharge to the POTW (Publicly Owned Treatment Works) that are
categorical, signi cant or high strength are in the monitored category. Their waste stream is then tested for strength and
regulated pollutants quarterly. The results of these tests are then used to calculate their wastewater charges. These
charges are based on the prevailing City of Fort Worth rate for BOD and TSS plus a 10% premium. Sewer surcharge
revenues are estimated based on an average year.

PENALTIES:
This represents penalties on past due water and wastewater accounts. Previously, a late charge of $5.00 was added to
residential accounts, but as of 10/1/2022 an increase of ten percent of the balance due on the account will be added to
residential customers. The late charge for commercial and industrial accounts is ten percent of the balance due on the
account. Revenue is based on historical trends. FY19/20 and FY20/21 revenue is down due to not assessing penalties for
a portion of the year due to the COVID-19.
