                                                 WATER FUND


             Water is funded through the sale of water, sewer fees, and sanitation fees. The city purchases
             water and sewer services from the City of Fort Worth, and charges rates to recover the full cost
             of both  the  fixed  and variable  costs  associated  with  maintaining  those  infrastructures.  This
             budget includes a seven percent water rate increase and a 12% sewer rate increase to cover
             the increase costs of those services. The city purchases sanitation (trash/recycling) services
             through  a  third-party  contractor.  Expenses  include  a  debt  service  payment,  four  full-time
             employees, and all other costs associated with operating and maintaining city utility services.
             Payroll  includes  a  five  percent  cost  of  living  and  merit  adjustment,  12%  TMRS  rate,  and
             $1000/month city paid insurance benefit.
