FUND PURPOSE AND GOALS

The Water and Sewer Fund is an Enterprise Fund responsible for providing water, wastewater and reclaimed
water services to residential, commercial, industrial, irrigation, and wholesale customers. Fort Worth Water (the
Utility) serves approximately 1.4 million people in Fort Worth and 33 surrounding communities. Operations are
financed through a rate structure based on the amount of services used, as well as base service fees, which are
billed to customers on a monthly basis. Debt is issued for large capital projects.

The Water and Sewer Fund provides resources for three separate departments: water, sewer and reclaimed
water. These services are billed separately to more accurately capture the cost of each service. However, the
Water and Sewer Departments share administrative staff, and many of the employees are partially expensed to
more than one department.
