OVERVIEW: WATER/SANITY SEWER FUND

The City of Kennedale continues to receive the majority of its water from the City of Arlington;
however, a small amount is purchased from the City of Fort Worth and blended with
groundwater. The collection system is channeled to the Trinity River Authority via the City of
Arlington.

The City is in the 5th year of a contract with the City of Arlington for operations and
maintenance of the Kennedale water and sewer system and utility billing services. The primary
source of revenue for the Water/Sewer fund is charges for services, which accounts for 91% of
all revenue.
